D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven
so … combining the inherent strengths of a Nissan chassis with a Disco crankshaft.

What, trailer to carry the replacement engine in?
And it could be easily solved by JLR. "How?" I hear you ask. New engine every 4th service should do it. Plus a TC with the belt service.

A Nissan chassis was used for this experiment to see if the body would work with the intension of fitting Landrover mechanics later.
suggests a Discovery body on a Nissan chassis when its nothing of the sort its a Nissan with a Discovery front end, number plates lights and a Land Rover which cover.
And I like the way it says
Quote:
The specification was for basic suspension and simple mechanics for overseas maintenance.
And yet it says they were going to fit LR mechanics
