Maybe, but realistically prob not. Just been mulling over LRs of the past since I first owned one in the late 80s, and having been driving them since early 80s, quite a list:
SIII LWB, ex army, my first LR.
110 TD CSW, went all the way to S Greece & back.
RR Classic, VM TD, some great adventures had.
SIII Lightweight, off-road toy with a hard top.
RR Classic, bought as a wreck to do up, sold for parts.
SIIA SWB, modified Jeep style bodywork, bought as a toy.
D1 200Tdi, 3 door in blue. First of many Discos, used for many adventures.
110 Tdi CSW, had it for 10 days before it got stolen from a garage when in for servicing.
RR Classic 3.9 V8i RR. Off-roader in total comfort. Boy did that tailgate rust, you could almost see it progress. 12mpg with a heavy right foot.
D1 200 Tdi in gold, used as company car, back when I worked for a living.
D1 3.5 V8, pure offroader, until I crashed her into a tree.
D2 Millennium, great car, 6 years and never put a foot wrong.
90 Black LE, very nice Deafner, until it dumped me at the side of the road on the way back from Iceland. My first experience of Yellow Taxis c/o LR.
MY06 D3 HSE Bonatti Grey, sold to pay for a kitchen.
MY06 D3 S Dark Bluie, May she Rust In Peace
MY06 D3 SE Light Bluie, SWMBO’s D3.
MY11 D4 HSE New Dee, the last of an era.
Quite a list.

Not going to be for a while, looking forward to a period of cheap motoring.
PS Typed on this bus malarkie, seeing places I’ve never been through.

Didn't know you were that old! You have aged well.
