Title: G4 Disco's
Post by: Andy the Landy on December 14, 2004, 19:59:42
Just been reading LRO. G4 Disco's for sale at 16k. Why cant we drive them in UK :?

I was so impressed with the Disco's at Whitworth I need to convince SWMBO that we need one. :D

It's due to the engines guys. No UK spec emissions systems ;-)

They'll be like the UN 4x4s that can only be used outside of the EU.

Arh well you see totally wrong  :lol:

Does that mean then if you did have one over here it would fail our MOT system on emissions, or do we not have the right gear to test them  :?:

Strange really to stay that I presume they are made and put together at Solihull  :?:

As far as I understood it, they are basically bog standard mechanically.
The article says 'You can buy one of the G4 Discovery V8's used in the 2003 event. But there's a catch: You cant drive them on the road in the UK, nor the rest of Europe. EU rules mean they are only road-legal outside Europe' - But why :?: They are right hand drive aswell  :!: .    <the mind boggles> . Can they be converted to UK spec emmissions :?:

If you wanted to, you could put one through SVA to make it road legal in the UK.  Would probably have to carry a 'Q' plate, but that should let you drive it.
