Styling & Options:

One of the stand-out points with this fantastic truck is of course, ts color. The Willow Green paint is unbelievably smooth. Its tones are deep and reflective and will absolutely separate you from the pack of the usual Disco colors out there. There was minor clear coat fade on the roof brow line and a palm size portion central to the hood… they would have polished out just fine… but would have shown up in a month or so… this is where I always draw the line… a truck like this deserves to last and look the part always. And that was the impetus to take it all the way.

Inside is amazingly clean too. This is a no-bull, at off the floor interior. It looks, eels, nd even smells factory fresh. Pay close attention to the center console parcel pad area. Peel back the rubber parcel pad. No Frito’s crumbs and Coke-a-Cola mortar of yester-year to be found… ANYWHERE. The interior plastics and mouldings are in excellent shape with minimal wear and/or markings. A testament to their order are the forward seat base surround mouldings. These are almost always destroyed. They are excellent in this example. Owner’s manual, ack/tools/roof rack x-members all included and stowed away in their proper in-vehicle compartments. There is minor accelerator foot wear contact on the carpet, ut that’s about all youll find. The carpet is still plush and smooth.

The County Cloth style seats exhibit virtually no where at all and are exceptionally smooth to the touch. They are non-powered. So they will never break – all lumbar adjustments, nobs, lide handles are intact and work perfect. All 7 seats are clean, titching intact and all work/fold/store perfectly.

Finally, ll seams, ambs, eals, ulkheads, ans, oints, utters are immaculate and tight. Have a close look at the featured picture of the B-Pillar lower jamb. Outstandingly clean - ALL OF THEM are like that…

She’s also offering a nice bit of factory kit – a brush bar that’s in excellent shape, actory running boards in mint condition, nd a full loadspace area Discovery rubber mat to handle whatever foul weather gear you toss inside. Additionally, he rear tire cover is near perfect and it shields another wear-free Michelin XPC tire to complement the just-fitted “new” set of 5th wheel spares - saved to be fit on a time warp truck like this.

The little details count here. The loadspace cover retaining strap and snap are still there and work perfect, he clock illuminates correctly as does the radio. The push and slide cupholders work perfect. The recovered headliner completes the cleanliness of the cabin and even taller enthusiasts will enjoy the maintenance free, lement shielding protection and added headroom of the non sunroof interior. The spotters out there will notice the 2004 Discovery HSE homelink and compass mirror. It works perfect, s crystal clear, nd is one heck of an upgrade!

Performance & Operation:

She is Swiss-Watch whisper quiet at even an arm’s length away from the vehicle. It fires up immediately and has tons of power all the way! It idles perfect and has ZERO hesitation, ics, tumbles, r rattles of any kind. The shift quality is excellent and because of the low mileage, his truck still retains that velvety smooth rubber mounted drive-train feeling. I dare you to try and detect ANY shift points. She’s that smooth.

It may go without saying, ut all windows, entral auto door locks, ights, ipers, ulti-functions, VAC controls, ork as they should. The AC and HEAT are both excellent and quiet.

There are no warning lights on the dash and has excellent braking, andling and ride performance.

She does not leak!

Steering and suspension is responsive and plush. She charges onto the freeways with total confidence and has no shimmies, hakes or meanderings of any kind. She is rock solid in town or on the motorways and the cabin is delightfully quiet as there are no panel or plastic rattles at all. On that note, here are no clunks or bumps from the underside of the truck either.

Perhaps lastly, he factory audio system is still present and works perfectly. The speakers still offer concert-like quality sound, t any speed, indows up or down.

Purchasing, erspective & Why Buy From Me:

Please read my outstanding feedback from folks like you! No one sends off a Land Rover or Range Rover better than me, ERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, nd the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands.

The commitment to service here is a commitment to my own passion and to a shared bond between enthusiasts. You wont find that anyplace else. Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my collection. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, reathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, et powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, oo.

To that point - watch out for copy cats. It has come to my attention that people claim they work with/partner with me. This is not true. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, ell, OT from me!!!

THE IDEA OF "NEW TO ME VS. A NEW CAR"

I am VERY proud of each and every Rover that I hand select and hand-craft. As amazing as all of them are, wouldnt ever say any of them are "perfect." I have only used the term museum piece ONCE. And i am well aware of the qualifiers for that monicker.

With each and every listing, try to capture the flavor of what strikes me about each vehicle. I try to capture thier essence. While they are all Rovers, ll made in the same place, ach one is different.

It is not possible to discuss every nut and bolt, ut I have done my best to list and discuss what would matter to ME. Let me know what matters TO YOU. While she may soon be “new to you” she is “not new” and you should be prepared for all that is involved with owning a used vehicle. She is sold as-is. No more should be expected. There is not ANYTHING that concerns me here; if there was, would tell you. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW!

PLEASE, LEASE, LEASE – ASK AWAY!

There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, Bay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, he winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, hen the auction is over, nd the winning bid is placed, his becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, veryone joins eBay at some point, nd there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.

Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition.

Who is this truck for?

This truck screams class, eritage, nd capability. She literally jumps off the page of the magazine ad provided and is as close as you will get to finding one that looks and feels the way they did back then. The newcomer will enjoy the bragging rights that come with this particular trucks distinction; the collectors will enjoy the rare factory literature provided as well as the PDI report from the dealer (these you nearly NEVER see)! She is ready to go wherever, henever, n total style and comfort. Put her beside the best Defender or Range Rover Classic at your next club meet – you will most certainly give them a run for their money. Whatever your objective, on’t miss out. D1’s like this seem to be even more rare then their other NAS cousins and its only a matter of time before they chase them in collectors value! Good Luck and Happy Rovering!!!
