>> 40k 4x4

Even the most expensive Disco II retailed at just under £37k when new:

And it's unlikely this one was a fully-loaded example.

A bit sloppy, I grant you, but 'hysterical' and 'howler' seem a bit strong. He probably just looked up the price of a new one and used that. Perhaps he should have hacked the phone of LR's sales director to find out.
