The Appeal

As one of the final and most comprehensively equipped iterations of the long-running Discovery 4 lineage, the 2016 Landmark edition marked a celebratory send-off for a model that had come to define go-anywhere luxury under the Land Rover banner. The Landmark is the Top of the Range edition with all the bells and whistles you could ever need.

Built to showcase the model’s enduring strengths, the Landmark combined the proven 3.0-litre SDV6 twin-turbo diesel with high-spec interior appointments and distinctive styling touches, making it particularly appealing to buyers who wanted both rugged capability and long-distance comfort in equal measure. With permanent four-wheel drive, air suspension, dual-range transfer case, and Terrain Response, it represented the last of the truly utilitarian yet luxurious Discoverys; a formula many enthusiasts feel has never been bettered.

This example presents in classic Santorini Black over an Ebony leather interior, a combination that suits the Discovery’s purposeful stance rather well. The paintwork is generally smart with some age-related marks, while the sports grille, large running boards, and 20-inch split-spoke alloys maintain the model’s imposing road presence. Inside, the Windsor heated leather seats, multiple sunroofs, rear-seat entertainment screens with wireless headphones, and even a centre-console cooler underscore the Landmark’s reputation as a consummate family expedition vehicle. Seven-seat practicality remains intact thanks to the neatly integrated pop-up rear seats.

Mechanically, the 2993cc SDV6 is said by the vendor to be “wonderful and quiet,” paired with the smooth ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that helped make these late Discoverys such effortless cruisers. The seller also notes the vehicle has “never been used off-road and has always had due care and attention lavished on it,” and describes it as “mechanically exceptional,” while adding that “everything works as it should.” For the enthusiast seeking one of the last traditional Discoverys, equally at home towing, touring, or simply commanding the road, this Landmark edition offers a compelling blend of pedigree, presence, and practicality that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Vendors comments:

"Having invested considerable funds to keep this vehicle in a private collection for the long term, the present owner is very sad to see it go and is selling purely due to a change in family circumstances. Since purchase, the current owner (who like the previous owner searched hard and long for this perfect example) the car has continued to be used lightly and meticulously kept in a garage, under cover."
