1996 Land Rover Discover 300Tdi Oxford Blue 7 seat SOLD

I bought this car just over a year ago intending to keep if for a long time so I searched hard for a good one and it ticks all the boxes, sound mechanics and body together with the desirable mechanical fuel pump so no nasty electronics to go wrong.
Late last year I unexpectedly got the opportunity to take early retirement which is good, but as I also own a 110 I need to reduce the outgoings on tax and insurance so the Discovery has to go to a new home.
The car has a lot of service history, past MOT info, 20 stamps in the service record and has now done only 153, 500 miles which is low for these engines which can do 300, 000 if looked after properly.
While I have owned the car I have had the water pump replaced together with the P gasket as a precaution as there was a slight weep of coolant at the water pump gland.
At the last MOT inspection (which was passed with no advisories and runs to mid November 2015) I had the sills coated with oil and brake pipes greased.
The last owner had the sill on the drivers side replaced by a land Rover specialist and neat repairs made to the usual area in the rear wheel arch (see pictures) the front inner wings have also been neatly repaired.
The paintwork is a lovely shade of Blue (Oxford Blue) and the bumpers are colour coded to match, both sets of original keys are present, all electrics work to my knowledge including electric windows (runners have been replaced) alarm and central locking (this is the non-spider version so you won’t need to worry about that) a new battery fitted in October 2014..
The interior of the car is very clean with no rips or tears and I was assured by the previous owner that it has always been a non-smoking car.
The car runs well, it uses virtually no oil (it has the usual puff of diesel smoke on starting of course), the temp gauge is rock solid at just below middle with the Kenlow fan rarely if ever running, the gearbox is quiet.
If you are looking for a mid-nineties 300tdi Discovery you will struggle to find one much better than this in my opinion.
