Its time to pass on my Land Rover Disco I, 1996 5 Speed Manual. We are original owners and we decided last year to restore it mechanically and cosmetically. Well, we got through most of the mechanical work as you will see below, except for a persistent misfiring problem when it warms up. I have three young girls entering driving age, and I need to find a car for them, so the Disco needs a new home. It needs some help with the engine misfiring, and needs body work around the door frames and wheel arches due to rust, but is a great platform to work from, especially if a 5 Speed is your desire. You will see a long list of work we have done on it already, and I include a video of the car so you can see a full tour.


Price cut in half to $1350 OBO. Anyone interested?

This is my brother in law and sister's truck.
It's a nice truck that needs a little work. Lots of potential and I love that it's a manual transmission.
Hopefully someone here will take the challenge and fix her up. I would buy her but have my own project at the moment ;-)
