It used to belong to one of the Manic Street Preachers - hence the mega £4K ICE install

Should be picking it up in about 3 hours...

If I was to get a 4wd, I think I'd prefer one of these bad-boys!

It's a G4 limited edition isn't it? Land Rover made a load of 110 Defenders, Discos, Freelanders and Range Rovers in 'Tangiers Orange' to mark the G4 Challenge that they ran (kind of like the Camel Trophy without tobacco advertising).

Nice, i'd love one. My old boss has a G4 in silver...

I honestly don't know. Not really into the groupie starstruck thing, but previous owner details are that of their management company.

Chaps
It is indeed called Tangiers Orange - and we made over 160 of them for the inaugral Land Rover G4 Challenge - how do I know - I was the Event Manager for the whole event in 2003, and we are busy preparing for the 2005 (now 2006) event. The logo's have been altered somewhat - the sponsor stickers are mostly in the right places but the one on the front and the G4 logo's are totally wrong. So much for the marketing eh!

Of the ones built, many were shipped to other LR markets, so they are still fairly rare. We did half the batch in left hand drive (for the US markets) and the other half in RHD for Australia and South Africa sections of the Challenge. Quite a few were retunred to Australia. Would be intereting to know what the VIN number is - some of them had a hard life but all stood up brilliantly to the terrain and challenges we put them through. 6.5 weeks of adventure challenge - that was fun...

BY the way, no G4 vehicles were made in any other colour than orange...

Talking ICE Photos

Clarion Head Unit Closed



Clarion Head Unit Open



One Of Clarion Rear 5" Screens



Clarion Infra-Red Headphones



Clarion Infra-Red Headphone Sensor



I have not taken pictures of the changers or remote controls - Couldn't see much point

All the speakers are also Clarion and the whole system sounds amazing

Cheers
