The Land Rover Discovery is becoming an increasingly collectable modern classic, particularly Series II examples such as this 2001 model offered at No Reserve. Fitted with the desirable 2.5-litre Td5 engine and a manual gearbox, it has been in its current ownership for nine years, and has had just two previous keepers. The overall condition is described as ‘good’ throughout, and the odometer reads around 105,000 miles. The green metallic bodywork presents well, and the interior features period upholstery. ‘Y299XFR’ has a healthy 11 stamps in its service book, all the owner’s manuals plus lots of bills and receipts of work carried out. It also has two keys.

The Discovery was a breakthrough car for Land Rover. Introduced in 1989, it was remarkably only the third all-new model line from Land Rover since it was founded in 1948. A cheaper, more practical alternative to the posh Range Rover, offered with seven seats, Discovery sales thrived from the outset, and the model has continuously been expertly improved ever since. This Series II model was extensively modified under the oversight of then-owner BMW, with more than 700 differences over its predecessor. It also saw the Td5 five-cylinder engine introduced, which was smoother, more tuneful and more powerful than its predecessor four-cylinder engine.
