1990 Land Rover Discovery V8 (Carbs) (Air Con) SOLD

What a rare car this is, and I know I shall regret selling it - I looked for one for sooo long!
But, life is too mad, and as with my last 200tdi, I just don't have the time, and it is too nice, and too rare to sit wasting away.

Yes, you are right, this is a 1990 V8 on carbs with air conditioning! Ordered from Shukers in Ludlow - the original sticker, sales brochures and invoice are all present, along with an interesting memorandum from the first owner - a helicopter pilot, who traded his Range Rover!

It appears that the car has led a full but cared for life, and having been waxoiled when new it has preserved well.

No horrible black underseal, just factory paint underneath so you can see exactly what's what! And it is pretty damn good to be fair! The sills are original and will need some work for the MOT, but refreshingly they are not welded and are un-botched. Rear arches and seat belt mounts are perfect, and the body mounts are strong and original. Front inner wings have had some tidy fillet repairs but present very strongly.

The interior is excellent, having had protective mats from new to the carpets and boot floor. Original radio, radio aerial, handbook and cubby bag. And yes, I couldn't believe it either! Air Con - it works too!!

Paintwork is really good with those original stickers!

Engine fires on the button, sounds magnificent and feels like a jet - nothing like a V8 Disco - it's quite a unique driving experience!

Mileage is 116K, which the MOT's backup, MOT is due at the end of March, and it will need work on those sills, and probably new headlights, and some work to the brakes.

We all know how cool these early Disco's are now, and this one is a mega rare, early example! They can only appreciate in value just like the Range Rovers.

Don't miss it!

During the late 1960s, Land Rover weren’t quite the behemoth they are today. The Series models were still well in favour with rugged utilitarian types, but the marketplace was changing. They needed an all new car that retained its go-anywhere abilities, but allowed new owners to drive into town, for dinner, or maybe ...
