Imported from Japan;
163,544 miles showing on the odometer; 7 seater option; 3,948cc petrol engine

This 1996 Land Rover Discovery
is a highly usable modern classic that blends iconic British 4x4 styling with
practical versatility. Finished in timeless black over a beige leather interior,
this example presents with the kind of character and presence that has made the
Discovery a staple among enthusiasts, while also benefiting from Japanese import
origins, often associated with cleaner and better-preserved
vehicles.
Powered by the sought-after
3,948cc petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission, this Discovery
delivers the smooth V8 experience these vehicles are known for. First imported
from Japan in 2020 and registered in the UK on 1st October 2020, it has had just
three former keepers and currently shows 163,544 miles on the
odometer.
This seven-seat example offers
practicality alongside classic appeal, making it an ideal family-friendly
classic, weekend adventure vehicle, or addition to any Land Rover collection.
The vehicle holds a valid MOT until February 2027, having passed its latest test
with no advisories, providing reassuring peace of mind for its next owner.
Accompanying the vehicle are two previous MOT certificates along with invoices
documenting maintenance and upkeep carried out during its time in the UK,
including over £1,180 spent in June 2022 alone to maintain the vehicle’s
condition.
On site, the Discovery has
been reported as driving, stopping, and starting exactly as expected. The black
paintwork and beige leather cabin create a classic specification, while
naturally showing a few age-related marks commensurate with its age and mileage,
as should be expected from a nearly 30-year-old
example.
A well-maintained and
increasingly desirable example of the original Discovery, this V8 automatic
represents an opportunity to acquire a practical and charismatic modern classic
with documented maintenance history, long MOT, and rare Japanese-import
provenance.
Please beware while driving the car on site
there seems to be an exhaust blow which is making a tapping noise that you can
hear in the video.
