The seller offers for sale this 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2, powered by a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in British Racing Green metallic paint and specified in Highlander trim, this Discovery 2 features leather and fabric upholstery and was originally supplied new in the Netherlands. The car has recently had a major service, during which the gearbox was flushed and refreshed, and a reversing camera has been fitted. The odometer shows 258,497 km.

Introduced in 1998 as the successor to the original Discovery, the Discovery 2 carried over the model’s boxy, practical body while gaining a revised chassis, updated suspension and, in later cars, the option of Land Rover’s 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine paired with self-levelling air suspension and permanent four-wheel drive. Positioned between the utilitarian Defender and the more luxurious Range Rover, the Discovery built a reputation as a genuinely capable, family-friendly off-roader, equally at home towing, touring or tackling rough terrain, and the range-topping Highlander specification added a more distinctive trim level to the line-up.

The V8 petrol engine gives this Discovery 2 relaxed, torquey performance, while the automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel-drive system make it an easy, capable companion both on and off road. Inside, the leather and fabric upholstery lends the cabin a more upmarket feel in keeping with the Highlander trim, and the recent service work adds a useful layer of reassurance for a new owner. With its combination of presence, practicality and genuine off-road ability, this Discovery 2 remains an appealing choice for enthusiasts of the marque.
