looks like its a jap import - you could pick up a couple and import them for nearly that

should be pretty rust free though

Looks like it with the first MOT in 2018. And not done a lot of miles since then either. Stratstone sticker is a bit odd if an import though. Confused

Maybe - Stratstone Mayfair are a central London dealer though and they do like to sticker the bejesus out of anything they touch. In fact I would imagine applying stickers is the only job on a Land Rover the stratstone group can do correctly first time

No, it’s possible to screw that up. A Mercedes dealer did that for me once.

Is it genuine RSE or aftermarket, a lot of aftermarket ones (with pop out dvd slots) have complete replacement headrests

This outfit is a grey import dealer, been there for years and deals in those wierd and wonderful Nissans and Toyotas with the flowery names.
Made their money with the Figaro which took the cognoscenti (or idiots) by storm.
If they are into V8 Discos from Japan then I expect prices will hike upwards.

Poor V8Man..... now he has bought it from me. Rolling with laughter

I couldn't justify the cost of V8 Defender so dropped two cylinders but its still petrol. Roll on September.
