Go on then, what's wrong with it for that price? Apart from sounds like a dodgy sale, cash up front, etc.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

I’ve never had a V8 Disco 2, is now the time , before they all disappear ?
My problem is I can’t be trusted and would probably ruin it off road.

Buick looks nice and straight, however an eight litre motor? Hmmm, unless it's been fitted with a 455ci/7.5L motor that's been played with I would doubt that it's eight litres. Such a engine would also require some upgrading of the brakes. I like that it sounds nice and turns heads, that's probably because someone forgot that the exhaust shouldn't end in front of the rear wheels where it can asphyxiate the occupants.

The price is only a bid currently. Not had an MOT since some time before exemption, lost its original number (I know that only bothers me and nobody else but still....) and generally looks, beneath the shine, as scraggy as fuck and if not ready for the oval certainly ready for the skidpan at Hendon.
Interior's nice, though.

Does look nice, doesn't it. I saw the listing last week and wondered about the engine...Even Wildcats were "only" 400 cube or so I think for that year?

The original engine would likely have been a 364ci or 401ci 'nailhead' V8, not sure if the 425ci version was available in 1962. Transmission would have been more than likely the old Dynaflow automatic, very few full size cars would have had the manual three speed.

1991 Honda Vision 49. ONLY 1400 miles. Not used but running.
Purchased from Open Univ employee going to start pizza delivery but never did. Collectible. No mot. £500

Is this of any interest ?
Old and allegedly low mileage but may be a hopeless MOT fail or something.

I’ve always liked these and this one was first registered in Smethwick where I was born a fortnight or so before my 1st birthday.
