The Appeal
The Land Rover Discovery 2 was the sweet spot in Discovery evolution. Rugged capability, a comfortable cabin and improved on-road manners and comfort. The V8i ES model sits at the top of the range, offering a comprehensive spec from top-to-bottom, including leather interior, air suspension, and luxury features that make it as capable on the high street as it is off-road. A true go-anywhere, do-anything car with the best of them. Is it little wonder it's become the definition of a modern classic?
This particular example has covered an amicably low mileage of approximately 70,000 miles and really captures the eye with its comprehensive overlander conversion. Completed in 2021 at a cost of around £10,000, the conversion includes a Ququq camping unit with fold-out bed, kitchen facilities, and solar power system.
Everything has reportedly been fully prepared mechanically with new brakes, tyres, and various fluid changes before successfully completing a 3,000-mile European road trip to Crete and back, proving its reliability and capability.
