Did you build this truck? Out of curiosity, how much would a 300tdi bone stock Disco cost? In other words, how much would you sell it for?

Everybody always claims they would do anything for a 300tdi or would buy a tdi LR in a heartbeat but these things are always slow sales. I'm curious if it's the modifications/specific trucks for sale or not.

I added the accessories and did alot of maintenance items, I did not do the repower. Agreed they are slow sales everytime. Everybody wants a diesel, but most live in fantasy defender land. For comfort and everyday driveability you can't beat the disco diesel. It's sad we weren't given them. The same engine in a defender gets you a lot less truck. Guess I'm looking for the individual that still wants power seats, ac, lhd, and a quiet ride :)

X2 on what Doc Aaron says. The diesel is incredible in the D1. Not going to set any land speed records, but it does very, very well off-road.

This D1 is ready to go. Maybe some HD steering and you're good to go.

Doc, I sent you a PM on D-90 about something else.......
