Hi there,

I have been looking at this car as it is currently for sale.

Does anybody know any history, was it used in the selections, have any club members owned it etc etc.

Any information would be appreciated.

Sure you wouldn't prefer a genuine event (and rarer) G4 Freelander 2; I might know where you can get one!!

This D3 is now sold so dreams will have to wait another day!

there is a 08 D3 for sale at Shukers landrover in Shewsbury if it helps

Thanks very much, I hadn't found that one as its not coming up on the 'approved used' search on LR website.

At £31k its quite expensive, compared to £27k at Stratstone LR, but at only 30k miles its fits my requirements.

I feel some serious negotiations coming on.

In my continuing search for a G4 D3 can anyone tell me anything about BD08 KUE?

The first & most obvious thing you notice about it is the Brazilian flag graphics that have replaced the LR/G4 graphics on the doors & rear bodywork. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

BD08 KUE has featured quite a bit around the forums,



initially here http://www.g4ownersclub.com/forum/Topic11534.aspx?Keywords=kue



and more recently here http://www.g4ownersclub.com/forum/Topic20126.aspx?Keywords=flags#bm20130

The flags represent some of the national teams that would have taken part in the 2009 event, presumably as team vehicles.
So far we know of Irish, South African, Brazilian, French, German and UK flagged vehicles.

Cheers

In my continuing quest for a D3 G4 can anybody tell me how long Caffyns had had their D3 (VTT) & Paddocks have had theirs (KUE).

I can't quite afford either so am going to have to do some serious grovelling. Knowing that they've had the vehicles for months may help my cause.

...are you really sure you don't want a cheaper G4 Freelander 2???!!!!!
By RRR207 - 19 Mar 2012

Sorry but I need a winch, snorkel, off-road tyres etc for work (and a bit of play!)

If I don't succeed in getting either of these G4's I will be buying a 2009 D3 and fitting the extra gear myself.

Apart from the obvious temptations of a G4 vehicle there is also the insurance to consider........ as LR fitted all the extras it doesn't count as modifications and my insurance quotes for a G4 have been substantially cheaper (..... but still not cheap!!!) than for an identical D3 after I've fitted the same extras!!!!

I'm sure insurance companies are a law unto themselves!!!!
