With no direct replacement made, very few to chose from and them still being good value for money when compared to the high prices of LR’s newer cars, I imagine that the prices will stay very high until they are all too old to be allowed under the ”Approved” scheme.

Down to 16 now and only 2 in full colour. I wonder if the FL2 will carry on being listed until there’s only 1 left.

you know the wonderful thing about tigger ?

he is NOT the only one .........




Keep us posted.

It just occurred to me - is the Land Rover Approved used website the clunkiest manufacturer’s site on the web? Do you know of worse ones?

Wow, I’m going to have to try that!

Yes, it’s grim! It even has all the charm and atmosphere of a public urinal - it never lets you forget that life has brought you to the point where you’re looking for a second hand Vauxhall!

My dad had one of those ! Victor transcontinental. It was terrible. FL2 Ex D2, D3, RRS, etc. now all gone.

My first ever car was a 4 year old Viva HB. I thought that it was a bargain at the time, until about 8 weeks into ownership when you could watch the rust forming by the day....after less than 6 months I got in it and fell through the floorpan.

Mechanic was amazed that it had lasted nearly 5 years given its reputation. I think that it ended up being used for Banger Racing

My first job was in the research labs of the Plessey Company in 1972. They had built one of the first room temperature infra red imaging cameras with a view towards applications like looking for hot spots in buildings or signs of cancer on skin etc. Having got it going someone pointed it at the car park and all of the rust spots showed up as the surface temperature of painted rusty metal was slightly different even though you can't see it. In those days the cars were mainly BL or Ford and it was a sorry sight. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Italian cars beat the U.K. ones for rust then. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

I challenge that Yorky - it was replaced with a 1980 Fiat Mirafiori, which lasted significantly longer than the Vauxhall.
