SUPER CLEAN, California rust-free 1999 LandRover Discovery Series I, an all-original SD Edition. This is a desirable solid non-sunroof ( meaning NO sunroof leaks to contend with ever) configuration model. 1999 was the last and the most sought-after year model of the Discovery 1, with the very desirable CDL ( Central Differential Lock) system. Solid TWO-OWNER California Land Rover, residing here all of its life since being purchased new. Try to find that in an East-coast car, where the whole underside is likely corroded away and impossible to repair ! This Discovery SD is completely original. 123K original miles, EXTREMELY LOW for any Land Rover. Stock 4.0L GEMS engine runs EXCELLENT. It starts immediately, idles and drives very well. Always runs cool, and quietly, with NO valvetrain or bottom-end noise and NO cylinder sleeve chatter whatsoever. There is ZERO rust or corrosion on this vehicle as it would be expected from any California-lived Land Rover ( hard-pressed condition to find in any beyond the Sierra mountains). BEWARE OF RUST BUCKETS COMING FROM THE EAST COAST~! ( it's beyond me why anyone would want to buy an East coast car with potential hidden rust, which is unrepairable ). This Discovery comes equipped with most standard features available at the time of production to include: * Power HEATED seats* Central Differential Lock* NICE TWR alloys ( same as on the Defender)* Factory Towing package* Central locking* Power windows* Factory alarm * HELLA 500 auxiliary lights Stock 4.0L GEMS engine runs EXCELLENT. As it is well documented in all Land rover circles, the 4.0 motor was an improvement over the earlier 3.9 engines as it was more robust and had more torque as a result of engine redesigning to increase displacement to a more efficient, reliable motor. NO overheating issues to contend with. NONE. Automatic transmission shifts well into all gears. Four-wheel Power disc brakes brake smoothly without pulsation. Power steering, Power windows ( all four work), Power mirrors, Power heated seats, cruise control, factory stereo and cold A/C. Finish is in Rioja Red factory color, with NO oxidation present on the roof or hood clearcoat ( common ailment in all Land Rovers). Still shines nicely. The body, chassis, floorboards, door sills, doors and undercarriage are super solid and completely RUST-FREE, amazing considering this Discovery is nearly twenty years young ! Its Connolly tan leather upholstery is in remarkable condition and has held up well. There are no cracks or tears on any of the leather bolsters in the seats. No rips, tears or seam splits. Clean headliner. A NON-SMOKER vehicle ALWAYS.Overall, a very clean original interior, door panels, perfect dash and factory original carpeting. Documented service and maintenance records neatly kept in a binder, to include:New TiresNew BatteryNew brakesNew Brake master cylinderNew wheel bearingsNew water pumpNew brake calipersNew Power steering pumpAnd the most crucial item of maintenance on any Land Rover, a head-gasket service Original owners' manual, service and special-feature brochures and even the original purchase sheet from Land Rover are also included. The photos show this Discovery SD accurately. A super solid, completely rust-free unrestored Land Rover D1, with better-than-average miles and an excellent 4.0L engine. It runs well with a strong, solid powertrain. It will make an excellent base for a concours restoration, traveler or overlander, camping vehicle or just a fun Land Rover to drive around as it is. * My over 1300+ all-positive feedback and the vehicle's condition and photographs speak for themselves. I am a long-time Land Rover enthusiast and owner. I've been around Land Rovers for over 30 years, and have owned various models and vintages. Unlike the vast majority of sellers who simply sell what they do not know ( let alone car dealers!), I have proudly owned Land Rovers my whole life ( actually, I still own four others: a 2010 Sport, a 2004 HSE and a Discovery II) and I am fairly familiar with all their quirks. Feel free to call me with serious, pertinent questions at (650) 430-4660 PST or text message if preferred. I have priced this 1999 Land Rover Discovery SD at fair-market to sell. This is the last and best year of the D1, before it stopped being manufactured and it went on to become part of automotive history. You simply cannot find these Series I Discoverys anywhere for this price, without being totally rotted out, in terrible worn-out shape or being sold by some hood in some questionable area. My reputation and my feedback are my card. Given the alternative of purchasing a $20K+ restored example, this original D1 is the most sensible approach. Land Rovers are the best investment for the money, and they are going to keep going up in value. I am also advertising this vehicle in several other venues, and as such, I reserve the right to end this listing at any time should a serious BUY-IT-NOW offer present itself.
