THE PILE OF SHITE was presented onscreen as based on this Discovery, L865 DPE. But plate info reveals the truth.... We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided THE EXCELLENT UNKNOWN 1998 Registration number: R375 SCF Body type: Convertible Colour: Silver Date of first registration: January 2000 ✓ SORN ✓ MOT Expires: 22 February 2017 Vehicle make THE EXCELLENT Date of first registration January 2000 Year of manufacture 1998 Cylinder capacity (cc) 3940 cc Fuel type PETROL Export marker No Vehicle status SORN in place Vehicle colour SILVER so it was actually based on this Discovery, which had first been transformed into the unfortunate MG B monster.

R375 SCF Vehicle make THE EXCELLENT ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 1 May 2019 ✗ MOT Expired: 8 May 2019 MOT history Date tested 9 May 2018 PASS Mileage 84,555 miles So THE PILE OF SHITE continued trundling around looking stupid for a couple of years, and presumably then died. I guess the 2018 mileage figure should be 284,555, but only a 5-figure mileometer so was entered as seen by the tester. |

On the other hand... you could cross a shallow river or flooded area with that ground clearance! Looks like it'd be a comfortable off-roader |
