The Hampson Auction

 
Lot 27
 

1994 Land Rover Discovery
***NO RESERVE*** Highly sought-after three-door with full service history

Registration – M711 NNB

Chassis No. – SALLJGBF3MA120592

M.O.T. – September 2026

Odometer – 160,000

A highly original and increasingly sought-after three-door example, this Discovery is presented in classic metallic green with a contrasting grey cloth interior and benefits from what appears to be an exceptionally comprehensive history file. First registered on 24 October 1994, it is powered by the desirable 300Tdi engine and is offered in notably honest condition throughout. The vendor informs us that the vehicle has benefitted from a recent cambelt service.

The exterior presents well with straight panels and correct period details, including the rear-mounted spare wheel and factory-style alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin is clean and functional, featuring the characteristic dashboard layout, complemented by an aftermarket wood-rim steering wheel which adds a subtle enhancement to the driving environment.

Of particular note is the extensive and well-documented service history. The original Land Rover service book records early maintenance carried out by Hollingdrake Land Rover, with continued servicing through both main agents and recognised specialists. The history appears to chart consistent upkeep from new through to over 120,000 miles, with stamps from Hollingdrake Land Rover and later Premier Garage Services and Equipe Tyre & Autocare, a level of documentation rarely encountered and indicative of long-term conscientious ownership. The accompanying file includes the V5C registration document and supporting paperwork, further reinforcing its provenance. The odometer currently reads approximately 160,000 miles, supported by the service records.

Introduced in 1989, the model was developed to bridge the gap between the utilitarian Defender and the more refined Range Rover. Early three-door examples are now increasingly desirable, combining traditional off-road capability with a more compact and characterful design.

• Early and desirable three-door example
• Extensive and well-documented service history from new and recent cambelt service
• Offered without reserve
