I just helped a buddy source a minty 95 Disco with one owner 84K, 5 speed, everything works, perfect body, and a 7/10 interior.   Runs incredible, well maintained CA car.  it was $2300 and this was 12 hours after being sold at auction (NPR donation) for $1100.  not bagging on your ad, just throwing a data point out there.  tires were shot.

Disco values rarely track with Range Rover values new or used.

RRCs have been selling as high as near 40k. Not kidding. They are a collectable commodity. Discos never will be. I believe this is actually priced low. Grover, you should fix the headliner and put it on BAT. I bet you get near 10k.

Around here you can hardly give away Discos.

yeah, the original plan was to sell this to fund a tow pig to start a business bringing old trucks down from the south to here in northern cuba- but I think that I've overlooked the mission in front of me.  Good call on fixing it up and selling it on bat- I think I could probably put in about $1000 and have it perfect.

It's curious, but the disco's are quite a bit behind in collectability at the moment- but I see them about to explode personally.  I've thought about tucking a rare one away like your friend bought- those manuals are fairly hard to come by- well bought.  imho.

Sold the truck locally this morning for 6,700. Deleted my first post thinking it would delete the thread.

Atlantic British or the local pull and pay. I included a pretty big storage bin of parts that I got from the p&p.
