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.

B*stard, b*stard, b*stard!  I can't even get my frigging 110 with 2.25
diesel working properly!  Next time you're feeling generous, throw a few
bones my way...

Sounds like your standard pimpmobile bling and all!

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 .

Hah!  You wait until you decide to sell it and mention it to someone within
its hearing.

It'll go into total shutdown.  Sulk-home mode.

But not until you are about to clinche the sale or the potential buyer is
on the doorstep.

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.

Please stop gloating ... it's so unbecoming of the upper classes :-))
