In his email asking for contacts from G4 owners for a magazine article one of John Pearsons questions was why we bought an ex G4 vehicle. One of my answers was that it got more attention than a car costing five times as much. Returning from Stansted on Sunday I stopped at a petrol station (not an infrequent event with a v8!) and as I walked to pay for the fuel a guy returning to his car said totally unprompted 'that is one cool truck'. Left me with a grin from ear to ear!
As someone who has loved Land Rovers from a very early age I had always lusted after an ex Camel vehicle but by the time I was able to contemplate a purchase they were getting old and I needed a reliable daily drive. The 2003 DII's appeared about this time at Keith Gott's albeit export only. I decided then that they were exactly what I wanted and then spent nearly 12months trying to find one. Luckily for me one came up in Auto Trader and better still was not far away. It was an ex Keith Gott vehicle purchased to transport guests around a shooting estate. The owner had thought it too good for that and it had spent most of his 8mths ownership stored in a barn hence his decision to sell.
Anyway its been mine for seven months now and in that time I've reinstated the sponsor and G4 stickers and plaques and sourced a bike, kayak, tent and a selection of original G4 clothing. I'm afraid to admit I've become an anorak albeit an Orange one :)
