Haha, that was quick! He only collected it yesterday.
My advice to anyone selling their G4 would be to bring the vehicle back to original as close as you can, scrutinising everything. I removed all the gizmos I had and errand stickers etc.
There seems to be 3 types of buyers for these vehicles :
1. They like the look of it and want to have an off-roader for off-roading - they will ruin the car don't want to pay much either.
2. They are into Land Rovers and appreciate the G4 as royalty of the LR world, typically in the club circuit - not many of them around that can afford the real price.
3. The collector who wants the best and not necessarily into LRs - they will have the money, will resell but want to have originality.

Can you confirm what the specification is as well please
We think they had Rockshox Pike Suspension but were they U Turn 426 or something else - we think blue in colour
Were the gears rapid fire SRAM X7 and black in colour or silver
Are the brakes hydraulic Avid Juicy and if so what model or something else?
Thanks in advance
