g4 fully equipped challenge truck discovery 2

[alexcivick]

I met the couple that own(ed)? This truck when they were driving through San Antonio, TX. I believe his name was Carlo Kapp. I've seen this truck in person and I can say its very nice. It's a V8. Couldn't tell you if it participated in G4 but I know that they drove around the world. They also mentioned that they were almost finished with their journey and wanted to sell the truck here in the states instead of importing back to the UK where they lived. He gave me his email as I offered to get him some information on selling it but my wallet was stolen that same night in the hotel I met them in. It is a very cool truck and they were very friendly people. I don't if they sold it and this guy is trying to re-sell it or what but I figured I'd chime in.

Guys,

To answer a few questions and comments...I am a member of this forum. I am the owner of THE SHOP(Land Rover repair shop in Norcross Ga.) As A rule I usually don't post on forums very often. I am an avid Adventurer myself both with Rovers and Motorcycles. I asked one of my employees to list this for me under my screen name. I am simply trying to help a customer sell his truck. I knew this forum was a place that people would know what this truck is and what it is worth. I am happy to send any pictures requested or answer any questions i can . If you have a serious interest please email me for more info at info@britishtruckrepair.com This truck was verified on the G4 registry. It is the real deal!!

thanks for your interest.

Luke

You are correct about the owners. Carlo is super nice guy. They ended up at my shop to get a window regulator repaired and asked if we could sell the truck for him. He left it with me and headed back to England. Thanks for chiming in with a positive post!!! ;o)

Well now that wasn't so hard was it Good Luck with the sell. I've been to your shop to drool over some Rovers before I had the money for one, I used to live in Roswell right off Old Alabama RD

Well howdy Neighbor! Small world after all!! The truck really is awesome. If I didnt already have my Discovery I would buy this one myself!! What are you driving these days??

Even if somone just painted it Tangiers, it's still probably worth $17k. But you won't be able to register it without shuffling some paperwork, I'd imagine.

Most of the 2003's I see are around $9-10k for a D2 (yes - not Tangiers). There have been some questions asked that have gone unanswered, but I'd assume it was/is likely here on a bond so Carlo would be forfeiting that if it stays here and sells, and since I'd assume it's impossible to register this truck here, it would basically be a parts truck anyway - of which there are plenty available here for under $5k with blown motors. It's also missing some of the major G4 accessories that usually allow these G4s to sell at a premium.

I traded my 2004 F250 Super Duty for a 2004 Discovery. By far the best trade I've made. If I had the money though I'd be looking seriously at the TD5 that RMR has just to be different. There's something really attractive about almost doubling MPG.

Whoa!, by the welcome, you would have thought Luke was peddling kiddy porn. Hey now, this isnt Dickweb all!! Luke is supergood folks ya'll. You can eat off the floor in his shop!. He takes care of fellow enthusiast as well.

I could have that thing titled in Ga and Al three different ways, in under 2 hours-and thats with an hour and half in line at the DMV. Loopholes, Loopholes, Loopholes. Find em, use em, love em. I bet nobody hesitates to do so on their taxes?

Once and for all; I hate it for all you folks who live in stringent enforcement states. Gray market vehicles are no big deal here in the south. Not as bad here as it is on D-web, but everytime someone gets a whif of a diesel conversion or a gray market vehicle conversation, everybody's panties get in a wad and then the postings of EPA chapter and verse are all over the net and then the post is totally trashed.

As it has obviosuly happened here, and otherplaces, the internet pissing contest posts that always evolve on these two subjects are really, really old.

Luke, If I hadnt have moved from Atlanta, Id been up there most rickytick to fog the glass on that truck. Way cool.

So it's a bad thing to warn folks of potential problems? I'd be curious to see if it's here on a bond?

[11b4v]

Yep, be warned. You may or may not be able to title that beuty given your state of residence. doubly so if it an evil diesel motor was nestled under the bonnet.

Forgot to mention that Luke's personal boneyard is dress right dress as well.
