This 1997 Land Rover Discovery is one of only 250 made at the Land Rover Special Vehicles Shop in England. This model was created to honor the 1996 Disco that participated in the Camel Trophy Endurance run. The "AA Yellow" color is eye-catching and even in the condition it is, it never fails to get positive attention wherever it goes (in town or out on the trail).The vehicle was not running in the original posting because of a fault in the alarm system . Thanks to a great ebayer, I have been able to get the vehicle running again without any problem from the alarm.The body shows a number of battle scars with rocks and trees but we never bothered to fix it, since it just adds character. There is considerable rust on the roof rack, ladder and brush bar, but the non aluminum sections of the coachwork is almost completely rust free. Obviously there is no rust on the Aluminum body panels. Remarkably the "s arch" panels inside the rear doors are rust free. The frame is almost completely clean of rust. The interior is in fair shape for the age of the vehicle. Mechanically, the drive train operates flawlessly. The engine is strong and the rest of the gear (transfer case, transmission, axles etc) is super.The XD package included extra undercarriage armor, an SD (Safety Devices) full length roof rack, 5 top mounted spotlights (four forward and one rear facing), Twin Brush bar mounted fog lights, rear door mounted roof ladder and this one came with a pair of limb-lifters already installed.As for the tires: the 4 on the ground are a set of almost brand new Dick Cepek Mud Country tires mounted on Range Rover wheels. These tires are fantastic and since we got them we have never been stuck in mud or snow. The grip in rain or on ice is remarkable since the tread blocks are siped.As a bonus, you will also get 5 BF Goodrich Mud Country tires (in various degrees of wear) mounted on the original XD black rims. When traveling trails, it is a great idea to carry backups.All four electric window regulators are brand new and work flawlessly. I will be happy to provide additional information if requested. This is a great deal since even if you part this out (please don't) you will make more in parts than you have in the cost of this great old road warrior. The original owner's manual is included along with some other LR literature. I will also include a spare passenger door if you want to replace the dinged up passenger side. No idea if the window regulator works but swapping out the current one is a easy job. Would need to paint to match. Pick up ONLY....
