WHAT IS IT?

The Land Rover Discovery was introduced to be a smaller, less expensive, but equally capable sibling to the full-sized Range Rover. it’s upright utilitarian style was enormously appealing to buyers who were far more likely to brave the drop-off line of Sidwell Friends than the Serengeti. For most North Americans, the bloom expired from this 4WD English rose when problems like rust, blown head gaskets slipped liners and the four-horsemen of warning lights reared their inevitable heads. Still, Discos are so well-loved, that a decent number of them remain on the road in the U.S., mostly later ones with miles well above 100,000.

WHY THIS CAR HAS BEST ONE ON THE PLANET CHOPS

Oddly enough, the spec that North American Discos came in is what you don’t want. Lots of wood and leather to crack and plenty of electrical accessories to fail miserably, and a troublesome aluminum V8. This gorgeous example is a diesel with a five-speed MANUAL gearbox, and just three doors and manual crank windows. Its spartan cloth interior is absolutely immaculate with the original Blaupunkt cassette radio still in place. The engine compartment (save for the cast iron exhaust manifold) is free from corrosion as are the rugged and lovely steel wheels. It looks absolutely ready to have a European adventure  and then drop it off at the port for shipment to North America. At around $40,000, it’s not cheap, but let’s face it. you could spend close to that sorting out your average decent-appearing V8 Disco.
