Not all Land Rovers are useless!

A friends Land Rover Discovery failed the inspection this week, after 13 years an inspector just noticed it has the two extra 'dickie' seats at the rear, I explained that the vehicle was constructed with them, it was failed anyway as the vehicle did not match what was on the paperwork.
It also failed on the snorkel as that was not on the papers either, but a constructive discussion with the boss of the station let it go for this year only.
Another legal and yet illegal car on the roads of Spain.
So as he needed a vehicle on the quick just for a day I let him borrow my Land Cruiser and ........he loved it! A bit on the large size for him but he loved the extra power and in his words 'tough feel' of the car. I doubt 'we' can convert him but might be worth a try.

EDIT: Land Rover UK confirmed the vehicle was constructed with SEVEN seats, too late we had unbolted them and re tested it with 5. All passed....for another year.
