The Appeal
For those seeking the on and off-road road usability of the Range Rover without the hefty price tag and risk of muddying your deep-pile carpets, the Land Rover Discovery has long been the answer. That’s what tempted the owners of this Discovery 3 when they bought it new from Land Rover Welwyn Garden City in 2006. It’s since proved a consummate all-rounder and an excellent family car for trips around Scotland and France.
Affectionately nicknamed “Black Beauty”, this Discovery has been in the same hands for its entire life, undergoing regular servicing from new courtesy of respected local marque specialists. It’s in very good condition for its age and the vendor states it’s never carried dogs nor performed any towing.
The sweet V6 diesel engine reportedly runs very well and benefits from a recent full service (including belts). The MOT runs until May 2025, so it’s ready to enjoy.
