I personally don't think it's that bad. It's not perfect either. The real thing is what mechanical condition is it in, completely?

I would like to have another Discovery I, but don't have that much to spare. Maybe the Hun will jump on it.

Bingo, and especially if you love the RR?
How many miles are we talking on the "new" engine and the rest of the truck?
I'm not interested, but interested.

haha, you guys crack me up
Well, The range rover is a 4.6l this is a 4.0l
was going to use this as a 'go getter' and to have fun with on the weekends.
but I think I rather use the range rover as a 'go getter' and buy some 16" wheels
with some nice Nitto M/T .
I am working on a winch bumper for it so that makes deciding even easier.
Nothing wrong with the disco... nice honest car. 1995 model 80k miles
engine is rebuild

Now it gets interesting. That is low mileage for a 95. Also low for a rebuild.
Also a 95 came stock with a 3.9 with a distributor and points. I see this one has a GEMS 4.0 in it. The ECM and some other items are not common between the 3.9 and the 4.0.

So it seems that you may have a very unique beast on your hands that is definitely not a stock 95. I do not know off the top of my head what the total differences are between a 95 and a 96 but I am sure the wiring harnesses are somewhat different, so either somebody did some extensive modification going from a 3.9 set-up to a 4.0 set-up or it's a 96 instead of a 95.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

That is the first one I have seen with the CDL Shifter Label intact also.
