We imported this Discovery directly from Italy, where it lived since being sold new on June 6, 2000. Italy is known for its temperate and dry climate, which helped preserved the underbody of this vehicle.
The vehicle left the Land Rover factory in Solihull, UK finished in Blenheim Silver Metallic (Paint Code 642 MAL). The paint appears original and is in great condition, with no signs of respray or previous damage. Italy’s dry climate has kept the undercarriage clean, free from corrosion or rot. The exterior presents extremely well with a matching set of smooth riding 235/70R16 Michelin tires mounted on the factory 5-spoke alloy wheels. Aesthetically, this Discovery II shows great with the factory grill guard, offroad lights, running boards, alpine windows, fog lamps, and window rain guards. A visually unmolested example in its true factory form, ride height, and options. We test drove this Disco extensively and were impressed to find the various features to be fully functional and the vehicle an absolute blast to drive. It shifts superbly well with the addition of a short throw shift kit and the upgraded turbo spools nicely. This Disco is one of the best running and driving 25 year old Land Rovers we have experienced.
Power comes from a performance tuned Land Rover Td5 inline-five turbo diesel, developed under Project Storm and known for its rugged cast-iron block, electronic injection, and strong torque characteristics. We gave the Discovery some extra juice by adding an upgraded hybrid Garrett turbo and custom mapping the ECU. If you want more power, just ask … 'cause we kept the boost down! It’s paired with the R380 5-speed manual transmission and full-time four-wheel-drive transfer case, making it a capable and engaging SUV both on-road and off-road. Driving this Discovery is a completely different experience from its U.S.-spec counterparts.
This example is favorable European spec, favoring simplicity (which reduces some of the normal “Land Rover' issues). It features pattered manual cloth front seats which are often more reliable and durable than leather seats. This vehicle also has no sunroofs - a huge bonus as Land Rover sunroofs were known to leak from the factory. The interior is in excellent overall condition with no tears or excessive wear on the upholstery. The carpets have been protected by factory optioned rubber mats and the door cards show extremely well. Overall this Discovery has been well cared for. Power features include keyless entry, power windows, locks, mirrors, steering, and brakes. The rear is equipped with a cargo cover, defroster, rear wiper, and flip up jump seats with storage compartments on the rear door.
