May I introduce my 1999 LR Discovery 2. It is a TD5, with manual gearbox. The vehicle was converted to fall into a weird local tax law. At this stage it is a two seater, and will stay that way, else it will cost a shedload more in road tax.
First trip will be from mid May this year, travelling through Andorra, down the Pyrenees down to Collioure in France, and then down to Barcelona. From Andorra to Barcelona will be about 1000km, of which more than half will be trails, unpaved roads and tracks.
More pics to follow, as well as lots and lots of questions.
Mods/changes planned are:
This will be my daily driver, and will also be used to tow our caravan from time to time.

Mods/changes planned are:
- cleaning up the car,
- replacing the front bumper and winch mount with a dedicated "winch bumper",
- replacing the steel rope on the winch with synthetic rope,
- the lights on the roof rack will be replaced with LEDs
- locate and find a ladder for the rear door
- building a simple storage solution
This will be my daily driver, and will also be used to tow our caravan from time to time.
