2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Alveston RedDiscovery 3
Thanks for all your help in finding one !!

Well yes i have found one - as you can see from the pictures below it is red - Auto desiel 05 model on 54 plate
71k, service history, dvds, playstation 2, tow bar, all the toys. also come with a dog guard (but do not need it as my little spaniel pup cant even reach the seat) so if you need one let me know ! or look at my wish list.

Geoff came up and gave it a check over, what an excellent man
I have put 4 new tyres on General AT - only needed 2 as he front 2 were new so put 1 on as spare and kept one as extra spare - Thanks to Andy at AJS (nice man)
new road tax
A good clean inside and out - it did need it !!

seems a good drive (when i get the chance the wife takes it at every chance so only driven it twice)

Wish list
wood trim around dash - like geoffs - anyone know were i can get this - any going spare ??
ali trim round the gear leaver
came with roof DVD's - but can not seem to get IR headphones to work with it - it does not have IR on the dvd's
any ideas how this can be done ?? innvotek system

colour coded arch trim and mirrors

A few pics for you - if you have anything on my wish list let me know
Thanks to everyone for your advice and help - especially geoff

I tried to get a Alveston Red one before the Zambezi I have. There were none about at the time Evil or Very Mad , and the salesman at Hunters was trying to sell me a Gold one Big Cry

Was told though that ALL the Alveston D3's were ex LR Experience as it was a colour NOT an option to the general public, only Rimini Red.

Still looks a cracking motor, best colour combo interior/exterior.

Enjoy Thumbs Up

Under the bonnet on the slam panel, black sticker with name of colour. It does look Alvestone, and the year is right to be so. Not jealous much Big Cry

This could be your D3, or one of its own associated D3's

Looks nice and clean Des, well done Thumbs Up

I might be intereseted in the dog guard, can you let me know if its full or half height, what make it is and how much you were thinking.

I might be able to collect, where abouts are you.

Alveston is just the colour before Rimini, no "special" LRE connotations as far as I know. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
