The Appeal

There’s a strong case to argue that if you live rurally then a Disco 3 is all the offroader you’ll ever need. Rugged, comfortable, and capable of going anywhere a Land Rover ever needs to go, these are tough and dependable beasts.

This one, however, has led a very cossetted life with its handful of keepers. It has never been used for towing or transporting animals - in fact, its previous keeper loved it so much it was nicknamed ‘Black Beauty.’

The current keeper acquired it last year, intending to keep it, but other Land Rover opportunities have come along. That is good news for the buyer because he has put £4,000 into the vehicle including a full service and attending to a range of other minor issues.

The sweet V6 diesel engine reportedly runs very well and benefits from that recent service plus earlier replacement of front and rear belts. The MOT runs until May 2025, so it’s ready to enjoy.

The vendor tells us:

"Lovely , solid little truck that feels bombproof! A very comfortable drive. The cabin is lovely and has all the Land Rover HSE features."
