IN READINESS for a summer of sporting events, Webbers Land Rover has launched a score of money-saving offers on the new 2004 Freelander - including the youthful Sport model.

The Basingstoke dealership is offering savings of up to £1,000 on 2004 Freelander models - the perfect vehicle to put local drivers through their paces.

Alternatively, finance packages start from as little as £2,499 deposit and £199 per month for the Freelander 1.8 E Hardback three-door.

Paul Rosser, sales manager at Webbers Land Rover, said: "With a host of sporting events lined up this summer - not least The Olympics, Euro 2004 and The Ryder Cup - customers looking for a change of pace need look no further than a Land Rover Freelander."

With fresh exterior styling that adopts the distinctive family face from the Range Rover, a significantly upgraded look and feel in the cabin and a new Sport model, the new 2004 Freelander is a vehicle in peak fitness, says the dealership.

Riding on larger 18-inch alloy wheels, low-profile tyres, lowered and stiffened suspension, and with the choice of either a two-litre Td4 diesel or 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine, the Sport model offers a responsive driving experience.

For those looking for luxury and sophistication, the HSE model saerves up more comfort and technology than ever before.

Paul added: "Tickets to this summer's major events may be hard to come by but, with our current offers on the new Freelander, being a part of the country's sporting fever has never been so affordable."

Further details on these offers, which are only available until the end of June, can be obtained by calling the dealership on 01256 300615.
