Stunning condition, owned, maintained and upgraded by me regardless of cost since 1999.
Not a recent “rebuild” as such, this has been upgraded over a period of time however it is evident that several major components are very recent and the whole vehicle is incredibly straight, clean, tidy and mechanically excellent having been regularly and meticulously serviced.
I have all MOT’s since release in 1999, demob paperwork and two box-files of receipts as well as a year by year pictorial history including the annual agreed valuation photographs.

I have been looking and don't think I have a single photo with the canvas off other than when I was swinging the rear tub across from the old chassis to the new.
Only ever driven it with no canvas about twice (in 24yrs!) as I can't stand the sun on the top of my head (bald), instead I usually drive with the rear rolled up (hence the cargo net across the open rear) and in really hot weather, with the sides rolled up.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Will be sorry to see it go but have owned LR's for over 35yrs (this one for 24yrs) and lack of use means it is now just an indulgence that isn't being used or appreciated.
Last year I covered 801-miles (and that included moving house when there was lots of running around to be done), I bet this year it is unlikely to cover under half that. A new motorcaravan is ordered and scheduled to arrive next Easter time(ish) so I don't need to have the driveway cleared until then, for that reason I am in no urgent rush to sell and have not yet put it on Autotrader but if any interested party said they wanted it then I am obviously willing to let it go now.
I originally intended to hang onto it until I retired (hence why I was happy to replace the chassis etc back in 2020) but I have now (early) retired, moved house and all our other plans have been brought forward by a few years.

Took some new photos today, none with the canvas completely off but rolled up and how I usually use it in the summer.
