Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

I've had mine for 2 1/2 years.

The car however was first registered 18th Dec 2004 so it could be one of the oldest here.
Ticked over 132k today.

United Kingdom 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3

Had mine for 12 months. Still have 12months warranty. Nothing major has gone wrong (apart from brake pipes).

I have a Freelander that I bought new in 2002 (12 years ). I have totally rebuit the car.
Hope the disco does not need as much because I plan to keep it as long.

So in terms of length of ownership and still owned, it looks like:
Moo - March 2005
Barn1e - May 2005
Blue Meanie Sep 2005
AVE - Oct 2005
DN - Nov 2005

I have a feeling RLD (Uncle Ray) may shift the order if he sees this thread. Still no one still owning the same D3 bought in Late 2004.

United Kingdom 2006 Discovery 3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

1st October 2005 for current, although this was a straight swap for a June 2005 I bought, and was so riddled with faults it was taken back by the dealer and exchanged for current.

So, factually October 2005, but had it not been for the faults, June 2005.

Still on the personal fleet and rarely misses a beat. 127,000 miles.

We have had our G4 just coming up for 6 years now (April 2009), Land Rover had only clocked up 850 miles since its registration in May 2008. It still makes me smile every time I see it or drive it. Can't say that about our Golf Laughing
