There was a few on eBay for that price range. Try gumtree as well.

If your struggling to veiw the disco due to distance but interested phone him and ill pop oer look it over for ya its only 2 streets behind me.

Went to see the disco.
Its not bad for what it is. Has been used as an offroader at lamacha. Boot floor actually not bad for a disco. Fuel tank sitting in the back boot lol but all plummbed in something to do with its bracket is hanging off. Started up nice and ran smooth. Decent set of tyres.
Does have water leak around pump area but i could not see if it was the p gasket or the pump gasket or even a split in the thermostat housing.
For the money not bad at all dought it easily MOT so for purly an offroader it be ok. Deffinatly a trailer job for you to get it home. I said ill call him back tomorow and if you dont want it ill take it and break it for the engine and axles few other parts and scrap the rest. The bodywork aint half bad on it. Alot more disco for the money than i expected. oo and there a big nudgebar on it. Think he wants a fast sale so collection might be an issue for you being way up in elgin. I cant store it at all unfortunatly all my junk is taking over my garden  ;D let me know.

Im not interested in it now may have a v8 coming my way dont know what ill do with it maybe just put it on an engine stand and look at it.
