"04" Discoveries
Hello all. I'm a Discovery 3 wannabe. I have been for a long time but never got round to acting on it. That's changing now... I'm a dyed in the wool Land Rover addict with a 2003 Defender, a street legal 1957 107" Station Wagon, a 1971 Range Rover wreck/ project and a 1949 80" project.
I've got a couple or few questions.
I tend to like the early versions of what comes out - I'm a bit mad like that... I've been looking at eBay and missed out (not that I'm ready just yet) on an "04" registered HSE. Pretty much exactly what I would have liked to find
So, would that have been a rare thing? Would most 2004 Discoveries be on a "54" registration?
Does anyone know of any "04" registered Discovery HSEs for sale?
Cheers, Tony

04 plates were Land Rover Press Demo cars - not generally sold to the public until 54 plate. Not sure if some were 'non-standard' in terms of kit and bits as some I think were pre-production models.
Someone who knows more will be along soon.

I saw 2x 04 plate models within 3 days of each other! One was in aberdeen and was either a base model or an s. Checked it on a reg checker and it does show as 04. The other was an hse and was in Glasgow3 Flash Indicators

Wondered if that was the one Clarkson took up the mountain in Scotland but thinking about it that was probably a 54.Displaced Yorkshireman.

I watched the videos a while back. They were both BX04 but the registrations weren't recognised by the DVLA query thing. Would be a laugh to find one of those. A real film star

The reason it has 3 keys is to keep one as as spare, the story goes thet Clarkson left the car at the top of the mountain and jumped into a helicopter taking the keys with him and the car stranded the muppet.Displaced Yorkshireman.
