Overland Classifieds :: 1995 Land Rover Discovery I

Land Rover Discover I for sale

I’ve always loved the Defender, but more recently, I’ve developed a deep affinity for the Discovery, especially the I and II variants. These vehicles provide much of the same charm, practicality, and all-terrain capability as the Defender but were altogether more refined. This oftentimes overlooked model is also a favorite with the Expedition Portal team and was subsequently chosen as an Overland Journal project vehicle. We’ve featured a number of budget-friendly options, such as this $2,900 1995 I, a $6,400 2001 II, and a $10,000 1995 I. Today’s 1995 Disco I is offered at $18,500, considerably more than the alternatives above, but for good reason. Firstly, this example has been fitted with the desirable 300Tdi motor and has undergone extensive mechanical work. In addition, it showcases tasteful modifications, a factory D1 roof rack with Hella lighting, and a beautifully kept interior. Finally, the Discovery is finished in a stunning blue with a white roof.
