I am getting a bit nervous now that my £500 deposit is going to get me a questionable car. Guess I will find out for sure next week when I see it. I am buying it through Stratstones in Bury and the car was originally at their Aylesbury branch. fingers crossed!!

I know Stratstones in Bury. Had many dealings with them, and know their sales guys who used to be there. (They are now at Williams Manchester). They are reputable. I take it the car was group stock and they have bought in it on the strength of your dipper?.
IMO, I would ask about the aftermarket exhaust in terms of warranty, and ask them to put the badges back where they belong, ie RANGE ROVER on the bottom lip of the top tailgate. At the moment its position is 'a la Sport'

Have you done your own HPI check?

Good advice, thanks

Someone trying to "facelift" the FFRR to look like a SS?! that's a first... MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

I agree with those replies above.
The rear is all wrong.
Why would someone go to the trouble of doing that ?

Are you sure this is the car for you ? There are plenty of unmolested SC's available - it's a buyer's market.

If you do go ahead, I'd have them return it to standard to avoid modification notifications to insurance companies etc.

I'm afraid I don't buy into the "it's from a main dealer so it must be the best" mentality after putting a deposit down on a misrepresented FF from a main dealer three years ago. The two I've bought have been from independent car dealers.

On a positive note - you've got to have one !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?
