Hi Bruce

So your a Series 1 lover - Land Rover Series 1 and Discovery Series 1. -
Isn't it always the same, the vehicles only become Series 1 when a series 2
comes along.  But why did my Phase II Range Rover become a "Classic" when
the second body shape came out?  I guess we could also ask why was the 1959
model LR called the series 2 when there were 2 distinct "series" before it -
the 80" and the 86/88 - 107/109".

About 6 years ago I toyed around with replacing the Rangie, it was 15 years
old and I thought the time was right for a new one.  I couldn't see the
value in $AU 140,000.00 for the replacement equivalent RR and when I
investigated the Disco it was the virtually the same running gear etc as my
Rangie.  So I treated her to a 4.6 litre motor instead.

Just on the Disco.  Why can't LR designers get things right, the front
passengers footwell is a disaster.  There is no where to put your toes
because of the heater demister unit and it is the same on the Series II
Disco.  The Japanese are masters of getting lots of things into small boxes
but the English LR designers just seem to add things on and place them in
any available space, damn the passengers.  It is the driver who will buy the
car, by the time there is a passenger the deal is done and the passengers
suffer forever.

Cheers
Diana
