Not what I wanted to have to do, however, since my stroke earlier this year my off road marshaling and other off road activities are somewhat non existent. I've had the car for the past twelve years and has been an absolute dream to own, now it's not getting used for what it is so capable of, I need to sell. I know that I will not be able to buy another car before I retire so as so often happens another is available now, Garfield needs to go to another home and give someone else the opportunity to own one of these wonderful vehicles.
FDR is 23/01/2003, on the proper BT52 plate (personalised plate to be put on retention)
139800 miles (will rise until sold)
MoT until 13/08/2917 (no advisories at last test)
Service history by independent, and regular oil and filter changes by self
Tyres are KM2's
New roof rack board to install
£7,000
It will go PX if not sold and no doubt robbed of its G4 accessories between dealer / auction / new buyer, shame if that happens
Regards
Martin

Hi Martin
Sorry to hear that, hope you find a buyer asap. It's nice to see it's not been lpg converted and it's authenticity destroyed like has happened to so many.
But I suppose if you cannot afford to run a v8 it's the only option for some.
Marco.

Hi Martin
Sorry to hear the news, glad you are on the mend!
I'm sure the D2 will go to a good home, I have passed the information on as I know a couple of people looking for V8 D2's in Orange!

Now sold in PX deal, when I collect the new to me D3, I'll post where the vehicle is, not sure if they will ship it straight to auction or retail it on their forecourt, price wise I'm sure it will be for more than I was offered but less than I was asking for, it will have or should have the roof rack and lights, plaques, RAI, all the underbody protection,
Not that the garage understands what they are but I have a sheet of 9mm floor board ( never got around to cutting and fixing) with the correct swirl pattern, a genuine LR tow bracket with ball to fit the receiver, a spare warn 2" receiver billet and two warn driving lamps should anyone need them, POA and collection only due to size and weight.
Regards
Martin

Hi, Picked up the car from Barnsley earlier today, beginning my adventure in G4 ownership.. looking forward to it!!
Already had an adventure with the key at the petrol station, alarm going off and no buttons.. 😩
A couple of hours sorting the exhaust blows, and now all good!
I will take care of it, and try to improve it where i can (staying as faithful to the heritage of the car as possible)

Hi, and Welcome from South Wales. (Croeso)
I believe there are only 4 of us in Wales, and I'm in the 'Valleys'.
Anyone want to talk about the Rugby - 'and we were singing Hymns and Arias' and the River Taff was bubbling !!!!!

Awesome! It would be so good to get another D2 event car back on the road. Good luck with the re-build..
