The Appeal
The much-lauded Disco 4 has a good survival rate, but there are very few about in this specification. While the overwhelming majority were specified with diesel power, this variant uses the Jaguar-derived 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8. Combined with seven seats, permanent four-wheel drive, electronic air suspension and a factory glass sunroof, it's a capable and versatile package.
This example spent its early years in Dubai, where it was maintained by Al Tayer Motors, the official Land Rover dealer, with scheduled services documented at every interval from 12,000 km through to 84,000 km. In 2019, it underwent significant mechanical attention covering the suspension, braking system, air conditioning, front drive shaft and cooling system. Following its arrival in the UK, sunroof-related water ingress was addressed in early 2021, and a major service followed in May 2021. With its rare petrol V8 powertrain and well-documented maintenance history, this Discovery 4 is eminently worthy of attention.image.png5.6 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
