Owners Vehicles #02

The owner of this unique D1 is my friend, Ste Morecroft, an ex-Farrari engineer and avid Land Rover fan. His technical level-headed opinion I value, so naturally I pestered him for his two cents for my upcoming 30th Discovery Anniversary feature. Eventually we met-up at The Kelmarsh Land Rover Show (2018) in order for him to scrutinise the All-New Discovery I had on loan from @landroverukpr and to hear his take on Disco in general. The weather was awful unfortunately, and there were a few technical issues with sound due to the damp conditions which wasn't a big enough of a deal to simply archive the footage ala, Raiders of the lost Ark outro.

This scene is from a rough edit of my 30th Disco feature, now mostly removed due being too lengthy and comprehensive for the overall narrative of my film. In fact, I even had to trim this scene by 5 minutes in order to post on IGTV. There's a lot to cover regarding the entire life of Disco, as I'm sure you will agree. I have to be very select and frugal. I only required a few minutes - 3-4 at most - which I've mostly cut out of what you see here, leaving no spoilers for the 30th Anniversary feature. I always over film, and Ste and his superb vehicle are both far too interesting to leave on the cutting room floor.

Ste built his Discovery using interior and air suspension from a late Range Rover Classic. He also supplemented the stock 3 9i V8 with a 4.6 from a Range Rover P38a and attached twin turbo's and an LPG system for good measure. And, for in-case the smooth became incredibly rough, he fitted air-lockers all-round and 33" boots, along with many other tasty tools and refinements that all add up to make this Disco a particularly impressive and formidable machine.

This is not the last you'll see of Ste and his uber Disco on this channel. I am producing a proper feature on his D1 in Scotland, which now has a Corvette engine fitted - oowff!

My apologies for how roughness of this film. I'm neck deep in editing and can't afford to put too much time into polishing the scene. Besides, as I say above, I'll be creating a glossy film on Ste's D1 very soon.

I hope you enjoy!
