The Appeal
When did you last see a Discovery 2 in this condition?
Frankly, few looked this good 12 months after they rolled off the forecourt, as these cars were often pressed into action, be that as a farm vehicle or traversing rough terrain with adventurers. Just look at that chassis. It's pristine. And so is the interior; surely one of the very best we've ever seen.
Originally owned by a famous comedian and used by their partner, strictly on-road, so we're told, this Discovery has only had four registered to date, having been with the current owner since June 2022. It was the previous keeper who carried out to bring it up to this standard, restoring the electric sunroofs, re-spraying the roof, replacing the windscreen, fitting a new headlining, re-gassing the air conditioning and much, much more besides. There was also some corrosion to repair, and a few leaks to fix, while the chassis was stripped to bare metal and treated with three coats of gloss black.
In short, everything the car needed, the car got.
The vendor has clearly taken great care of this Land Rover during their custodianship, keeping it pleasingly factory standard throughout. The MOT shows just one advisory an runs until 18th September 2025.1.jpg191.32 KB
