1997 Land Rover Discovery I Tdi
Time-warp
2-owner 66,910 mile 3-door 300Tdi Disco that's been carefully stored since
2016; freshly MOT'd with 19 service stamps by its supplying
dealer
Supplied new by Matford Land Rover of Exeter
to a gent in Torquay, Devon in August 1997 this rather rare survivor comes
to us in desirable 3-door 300TDi form with a manual ‘box and is finished in
white with Granite interior cloth trim.
The original purchase invoice on
file details the optional extras specified including front seat covers, head
rest cushions, rear step, carpet mats, front mudflaps, running boards, electric
pack, ABS an Air conditioning costing £24,050.
The Disco has been tucked
away in storage by our vendor for the past 5 or so years alongside the V8
3-door also in this sale, this having been in his ownership since
2013.
The history file includes the V5C showing just 1 previous owner,
the owner’s pack & service book revealing an impressive 19 stamps (all by
the supplying dealer) and additional hand-written entry by Nexus Motor Trade,
the last at 41,071 miles in July 2013. In addition, the file includes a ream of
service and maintenance/parts invoices dating back to 1998 including the last
documented service in June 2015 at 63,732 miles along with at least 5 old MOTs
the history of which confirms the car was off the road, in storage between 2016
and its most recent test in November 2021 which it passed with no advisories at
66,910 miles.
Starting promptly as we moved it around for these shots,
the condition appears to be very good and uncommonly original throughout with
only a small graze evident on the near side rear corner as pictured. The
interior too is also super with minimal signs of use/wear and a real throw back
to a bit of 90’s simplistic nostalgia – far removed from today’s complex
digi-dash Discovery products.
One for the serious collector or enthusiast
we think along with its 3-door V8 sibling. Super.
