All three of those LR's are a joke and not a one of them are perfect. That Silver Bullet has so many small items that pop up in the pics they haven't fixed that I can only imagine the larger items that haven't been touched........

Those LR's remind me of that Jeep guy in Kerrville, TX that sold nothing but those old Jeep Wagoneer's. At first we thought oh look at this guy selling some old cool J10's and *****'s. Then he started getting more and more Wagoneer's and the prices were like 25K each back in 2000!!! The last time I was out in that area (my parents lived not to far from Kerrville) His lot was completely full and I saw one with a sticker price of 37K! The only thing I will say about his stuff vs those 3 D2's is that they were fully restored top to bottom and nothing was left out. Unlike those D2's with fogged up headlights broken coin trays, worn leather e-brake boots....

I got my 02 Kalahari (1 of 150 in Yellow) for 4,500.00 in damn near perfect shape and 100% all original. Yes it has TX mileage on it, but to me miles are like age = just a number. It's all about how it's been maintained! If we looked at airplanes the same way some people judge car mileage = most people wouldn't dare fly on a 4,000,000,000 mile 20 year old commercial jet let alone take a ride in a B17, B25, or B29!!!

I've always had a special place in my heart for Yellow LR's ever since I saw my first Camel Trophy video or an AA Yellow D90, TREK Range Rover, Vitesse, Borrego Range Rover, or a Kalahari D2. Those 3 over-priced and no where near perfect LR's are nothing special at all.

After reading this thread, I realized that I needed to increase the value of my Disco. Therefore, let it be known that my vehicle is now called:

"Tricky Dick"

Those Jeep Wagoneers are now fetching some real crazy dollars. I love those.

So I know that green rhino lined one! I don't know the owner but it was at a Rover Shop in Cedar Creek getting work done. This same shop does built out D90's and D110's with LS swaps...real badass trucks and I know the owners. Real cool husband and wife team that really know their stuff.

I'll have to ask if they are involved with this....I don't think they are crazy enough to price D2's like this though. Their D90's and 110's can get over 100k though depending on how crazy you get.

I'm pretty sure Ken & the guys at Austin Rover works aren't the ones asking $$$$$ for that D2. Their D90/110/130's all have some serious conversion stuff done like custom interiors, LS3 engines, puma dashes, galvanized frames, and complete restore jobs. Those D2's are nothing special vs some eye candy IMHO.

These folks are just capitalizing on the recent explosion of "overlanding" and the whole "actually going outside" crap that all the hipsters are freaking out about.

I'm a software engineer and this is SO BAD in my industry. A bunch of kids come out of high school (some go to college for a few yrs) and right into 6-figure jobs. They're suburban kids that have never done anything outdoorsy but see Land Rovers and Land Cruisers on Instagram so they have to have one.

The only thing "extreme" about these rovers is how extreme LR NA could be enforcing the trademark infringement. VERY SMART guys to use the Land Rover logo as part of your company logo.

Suckers are born every day.
There are some people who are rich and impulsive.

So the opportunists wait for such to bite.

For 32K get an LR3 or an LR4.
