[For Sale] D3 2008 G4 Challenge
For sale is my beloved G4 D3 from the cancelled 2008 event.
I work away as an HGV driver 5/6 days a week and Iv an old 90 to lie in the yard at work so this just dosent get used as it should. Some weeks it’ll barely cover 20-30mls so I feel it’s time to move it in and allow someone else to enjoy it.
One of 65 D3’s prepared for the event, she was a UK/Ireland selections vehicle
Covered 140k but has FSH, always with dealer or most recently Engine710 a popular independent specialist. She’s currently in for MOT and is having brake pipes and flexis renewed and will be having the rear belts changed whilst the body’s off. Recently had new compressor and air tank (no refurbs) and battery replaced. New discs and pads all round and front calipers renewed.
Sits on 4 Duratracs in decent condition with matching Duratrac spare.
Iv recently rebuilt the front of the rack as the original cowl easily splits. Now fitted with a very sturdy composite panel that should stand the test of time no probs.
EGR’s removed, full Griffin exhaust including fake CAT and an Alive remap makes her quite livley.
All decals were replaced 2 years ago to full 2008 spec and windows tinted at the same time.
Bad points. There’s a couple o tiny nicks in the front door cards where the seatbelt buckles been caught prior to my ownership which I’m lead to believe is a common thing. I sourced a roof mounted TV but haven’t figured out how to get power to it so it’s fitted just needs the wiring finished. Other than that she’s in great condition.
I have it advertised elsewhere at £21’995 but I’m always willing to listen to sensible offers from genuinely interested folk.

For what it is worth this is a hell of a car and in great condition. Drive by it most mornings and it would be a great investment.James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.

Used to have a silver discovery 3 HSE, until the timing belt decided to call it a day on the motorway in France. Now have a Ssangyong Rexton Ultimate. It really is the Ultimate, ultimate pain in the as it makes the old D3 look reliable...... it spends more time at the garage in Coldstream than with me.James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.
