Default LHD S8 in Spain

Hi Guys,
Just interested in your thoughts on this Spanish LHD S8
As I now spend 50% of my time in Spain, I thought I might trade the old Spanish Range Rover for this item.
Would be keen to know your thoughts, especially on price. Mileage only 127,000 kilometers.
Hope the attachment works

Thanks
David

Hard to say without seeing it in flesh but the price seems cheap_ish for continent. If it was me buying LHD D2 I would search for manual gearbox.

Edit
It is PF car so not that cheap after all but listed as 1999 and PF ended in 1997.

Can anyone throw anymore light on this.
Did PF finish in 1997 or were there some late registrations.
Could this Spanish registered one actually be a 1999 car

I had a bit of blond moment when I said PF ended in 1997, it was actually made till December 1998. It is entirely possible for car to be hanging around for couple of months after production and before being registered.
