Was in Wymondhan a few days ago and there was a BMW saloon in the car park.
It was so long that despite being fully t the back of the parking space, it overhung the front by about half a metre. :whistle:
 
There was a feature in a regional free paper, that l think my wife picked up in Knaresborough over the weekend, about 'Twisted' (in Thirsk)
It concentrated on one of their Range-Rovers

The article stated 'Prices are from £350,000'...................

We've been for a look a couple of years ago

ALDI
Marsh Street
Rothwell
(south of Leeds)

It was very nicely restored & still with a V8

They look like '1 Ton'/130 wheels, due to the deep offset (6.5" 'well width', from memory)
I'm not sure about the tyres, & I'm sure it had (the popular period feature of) a 4 lamp grille
The suspension seems to be on '+2 inch' coils

Plus, they have fantastic levels of all-round vision, due to a low 'waistline'

I forgot, before l saw the WH Malcolm ‘convoy’, l saw a tasty Land Rover on a trailer, as it headed northwards
It seemed to have a taller stance than a standard (Series 3) 109”

Given the (seemingly larger) tyres, l thought it was a One-Ton
They’re on 6.5” wide rims & 9.00x16 tyres (‘bar grips’ as standard)
The engine is either the 2.25 diesel (a bit gutless, even with the lower geared transfer box), or the 2.6/6-cylinder petrol from the Rover saloons of that era

Contact with a friend confirmed that fact

This is what l saw (his photo)
