Nige - 18 Nov 2007 13:46 GMT This car, it's not your average P38, it is blathered in black leather, the boot, the doors, the dash, all in perfect, dirty for now, black leather. The floor has leather carpet fitting plates & even the door handles (inside :) are covered in the stuff.
It has stainless steel plates on the inside of the doors, as some kind of treadplate, all screwed down with nice screws.
Someone has spent *mega* money on this car. Someone bought it from HR Owen less than three years ago for £21k!!!
Does anyone know if there is some kind of special edition, Autobiography surely didn't include this kind of enhancement?
The bills that come with it tell me it really has had a very easy life & has wanted for nothing, all mods are done.
Needs a new alarm sensor (£30) & I'm changing the heter sensor as standard, as they go in a few years anyways. But, it drives like a new car & it makes me feel like Lord of the f.cking manor driving it, knowing it cost me next to f.ck all. Christ, you couldn't buy a decent motorbike for thise money.
Winter, bring it f.cking on.

As I recall, with the Autobiography, you could specify just about anything you liked and they would do it. There was a *huge* range of trim options you could choose from. They were all finished by Land Rover Special Vehicles - I think you should find a LRSV numbered plate under the bonnet somewhere, but don't quote me on that.
I'm not in the least bit jealous - bar*d! Shame it isn't a diesel or I'd be interested in taking it off your hands when it comes up for sale!

this is an M&S car :-) sounds like you have got a winner there Nige and the Autobiography was the top of the cream whatever your heart desired would be fitted ( for a price mind you ) I did have a brochure ! it was the factory take on what Overfinch was making a decent living from . Derek

Heh. It happened when I sold the trialler. New battery, started first prod, ran faultlessly round the woods here. Full wash and polish (well, up to a point). Tell seller over the phone it's all A1, which it was. Leave it at the front of the house, pissing rain all night. Started it up in the morning, just in case - all fine. Didn't want to warm it up, as I wanted to show the seller how good it was from flat cold, so I only run it for a moment or two. So he arrives, with the standard suspicious mate who frowns a lot. Go to start it up - nothing. Turns over for ten minutes, nothing. WD40 all over, sure it's the overnight rain mister, pulled off dizzy cap and cleaned out. Nothing. Guy makes a silly offer on the basis it's clearly a non-runner. I refuse, as I know the vehicle is good. Guy is just about to go when I give it one last shot. Wham - 3.5 litres of unsilenced V8 thundering over the countryside. Really embarrassing. He bought it, but I reckon Tiggrr just didn't want to leave and was having a last tantrum.
FWIW, I reckon the engine bay was soaked and starting it up made some steam that crept into somewhere vital.
