Highlights
- Straight bodywork and attractive green paint
- Dependable TD5 engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox
- Appears really smart underneath with minimal chassis corrosion
The Appeal
The Discovery 2 has long been the vehicle of choice for anybody who needs a dependable workhorse as they know these rugged and simple off-roaders have what it takes to get the job done.
Equipped with the powerful and reliable TD5 engine, this rather handsome green Discovery is in really nice condition. Owing to how capable these old trucks are, most have now covered stratospheric mileages and have lived hard lives. However, we note that this example remains in really good order and we’re sure it’ll be a faithful companion for years to come.
