Finally decided to get rid of the D3, nothing wrong with it, just worried it may cost me. Owned it for 9 years, been lovely but I have gone back to a D2. Nick

Good luck with the D2
But be aware the last ones are the worst for rear chassis corrosion
I had a 54 landmark it was quite bad in the rear till I cleaned it all back to steel ,rust proofed it and waxed it annually
Loved mine just no power compared to the D3

The thing I miss most about the D2 is the ACE system.
