I am selling my 1997 Land Rover Discovery. Has a 300 tdi Land Rover turbo diesel engine with automatic transmission and LT230 transfer case. When converted to diesel the engine and all diesel equipment came from a real factory Land Rover Discovery diesel, so it doesn't look cobbled together under the hood- looks ''factory clean".
Runs great, drives, stops perfectly. The truck has 149K miles but the engine has only 98K miles--nothing for these robust diesels. A/C, power windows, stereo with satellite radio all in good working order. Has a tow package, 2 rear jump seats, nice tint on the windows, and this is a non-sunroof model, so you don't have to worry about them inevitably leaking! Best of all, it gets 25 mpg in town and 30 or better on the freeway.
The interior is very clean and tidy in this truck - Dash has no cracks, headliner appears to have been redone, all windows work, and the overall impression is very nice. At this moment, the great-looking seats are not hooked up to power though, so can not be adjusted. I am looking for the correct non-power seats however for the new buyer.
Exterior looks very nice too, but there are patches where the clear coat has begun to fail on the roof. It is difficult to see unless you get up high on a ladder, but you should be aware of it. It also looks like the roof rubbed against something in the past at sometime and made a scratch mark on the roof up near a window, again very hard to see and may even buff out.
Brakes work great, and this truck can be driven anywhere now, as it sits! I would even recommend a road trip home in the truck to 'discover' how great of mileage you can get in a Land Rover. This would also make a terrific off-road truck with gobs of torque. I enjoy it on the freeway now too and it would make an ideal daily-driver.
By bidding on this Discovery, you agree to the terms of my auction. The rules are pretty simple, you agree that you have read the entirety of my ad and understand what I have written. If you are the winning bidder, I expect a $500 deposit by paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. I will require the balance to be paid within 7 days at the most by cash-in-hand, check, bank transfer/ deposit / etc. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I can hold the truck here for a reasonable amount of time if you want to come collect it in person or have a transport company pick it up. Speaking of transport, transportation will be the sole responsibility of the buyer (you). I can provide a pone # of a transport company that has great rates and seems to pick up most of the cars we sell, but you must contact them and arrange for the truck to be collected, and of course you are responsible for paying them.
In short, this is a great-looking, perfectly-operating and driving RARE correct Land Rover Discovery turbo-diesel conversion. The automatics are more difficult to find, and the job has been done right! Please message me or call with any questions.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
