The 'Atlantis' 50th has the wrong wheels, so they've possibly been nickes at some point, or it's been stolen/recovered??

The 'White Gold' is on the correct alloys & the write-up reads correctly for a 50th.
BUT, there's no badges on the wings.

Anyway, well spotted that man :D

Saw another this morning.
A 'T' plate whilst I was doing the school-run (SWMBO was in Market Harborough)
It was in opposing traffic in Wakefield.
The driver, a 20-something glamourous blonde lady, smiled at me as well :lol:  :wink:
Made my morning :D

Spotted another 50th Discovery on the M1 this morning heading north between jct's 39 & 40, as I was heading south to jct 38.
No idea if it's one I've seen before or not.

Followed 'S568 JUB' (picture on page 1) out of Wakefield (A638 Doncaster Road) this morning, he looked surprised to see another one alongside him when we pulled up at the traffic lights that divide the road for Doncaster (& numerous villages) and the one I followed towards Normanton & Castleford.
I thought perhaps he'd sold it as I haven't seen it about for a while, but no, it's still got a printing machinery wheel cover on.

Spotted another Discovery this afternoon whilst coming back from Whitby in the 'Works Van'.
It was heading in the Malton direction on the A64 near to the Castle Howard turn-off.
It was even grubbier than mine :lol:

It does happen Andy :lol:

I've seen a Porch 911, or whatever number the new ones are, muckier than mine.
My ex-boss used to drive his Vanquish everyday (whatever the weather) & I'd only seen it properly clean once in the 4years between him buying it & my leaving the company.

One for sale at an independant dealer in Bradford called Beckside 4x4

Someone who posts on her every so often has just sold his 'Freebie 50th' for less than £5,000. Father-in-law had sonded interested when I told him it was for sale.
We'd have had colour co-ordinated  tow-cars for the BWSOW :lol:

I'm still waiting for them!

Saw a 50th FreeLander this morning, it was at a house just on the Lane as I was going to the Land-fill about 09:30 with an overloaded Ifor.

Saw yet another 50th FreeLander on Monday morning at Rocar-Moores (LR main dealer at Huddersfield)
It was a very clean looking 5-door
Solihull Siblings

Then earlier this morning I was followed by another 50th FreeLander out of Rothwell (south of Leeds) along some back lanes & hence towards the M62 at jct 30.
We both joined & consequently left at the same exit (31)
It's one of the few 3-doors that I've seen, most 50th's appear to be 5-doors.
Eastbound Anniversary
Apologies for the blurryness, but it was a 'grabbed shot'

Also spotted a very neat 110 in Rothwell (link on Defender page)

And another 50th Discovery - on a 'T' plate was spotted in Knottingley this morning outside a small independant repairer.
I think this is the one that I've seen before (or perhaps not...)

I also saw a 50th FreeLander for sale yesterday on the A63 at Garforth. it looked very good indeed at about £6,500

Yes, thanks Andy. I'm off to the land-fill with the I-W full of soil & bricks in the morning, just after the first trucks have been in & chewed it up :D

So it'll have lumps of mud hanging off it.

Then I think I'm off to get the BWSOW out of storage & give it a pull round to make sure everythings okay before the Easter trip to Windermere
