Hallo

my name is Rolf and I am thinking about to buy a 2005 G4 DISCOVERY 3 HSE V8 .

I have the possibility to buy this car. But how to be sure that it is a real G4 Challenge Car?

I know you give the full historical report of a car only to a full member, but may be you can confirm that BN 55 WPY is a original car and may be you can confirm it was used by competitors or as a team and support car. May be you can confirn the use of this car in Stage 1 & 2 or Stage 3 & 4.

Your informations will be a big help for me to find the decision to buy this car or not. I think for you it will be no decision but i drive since 2004 two LR Disco II TD5 and i am really happy with this cars but there are " only " normal LR  ( i know LR is not a normal car it´s an LR :D ) and not a LR with a special history.

I have some informations for your database:

I know seven 2006 G4 Cars for sale in Germany in 2008

1) D3 BN 55 WPY ( may be my car ? :D )

2) RRS unknowen number but see http://www.fekken.de/gebrauchte/pop_marken.htm

3) RRS BN 55 WOB

4) RR BN 55 WNH

5) D3

To know that BN 55WPY is a original G4 Car and was used as a team car is really helpfull for me to find the decission to buy this car ore not.

Guten Tag Rolf,

My wife is German, as are my kids although I'm English. Lived in Germany for 12 years in Hannover, Celle, Osnabruck and Munster. Still go back often, so if you see a bald (no roof rack or winch :( ) RR G4 wave and say hello!!!

A Silver G4... Best of both worlds?!

Thanks Richard for this great news

At the moment i´am talking with the cartrader; i think it looks verry well

With the infos from Richard i have two new questions:

Was BN 55 WPY only used at Bolivia at Stage 4 ore also used at Stage 3 ?

Who was the other Team from BN 55 WPY ?

I think i will be the Owner of BN 55 WPY, so i am really interested at the full member ship, please can you tell me if the online registration is possible.

Thanks for your answers

Hi Rolf

I hope allgo well with the purchase of your G4. Just to confirm, the membership is open, please have a look at the tab "Joining the club", where all you need is compiled for your ease (you might have noticed that we reduced membership fees to £25 from £30)

We have recently changed the club policy and information on car history will be given only to club members, in line with policies from other clubs, but we can deal with this very shortly. If you need any further information, please feel free to drop me a pm.

Regards

Hi

I have done the deal today and since eight houres i am the new and really happy owner of D3 BN 55 WPY.

Unfortunately this car is fron a second owner and has a registration from Germany and not the orginal.

Now it is sure i will be a full member really soon.

Rolf
