You can't put a price on arm rests, but then these days people pay more to get a vehicle without them and leaking sun roofs :roll:
Did LR make a discover without sun roofs, if so they must be very valuable now.


The both have their advantages and disadvantages compared to each other, I've known a few occausins where the extra load height of a disco would have helped and several more where the extra boot length and split fold tailgate of the RRC was invaluable and I'm not just talking about point to point races.

I'm not aware of a discovery ever being displayed as a work of art, but then given what passes for art these days, its not something to aim for.

Mine has no sun roof  :D :D

took me 6 months to find a three door without a sun roof , never been a fan of them can't stand burning the top of my head when the suns out  :cool:

I do think the discovery would be a better car if they had put the split tail gate like the RR but I think the RR suffers with the spare on the inside..
