2005 Land Rover Discovery 3 HSE
4.4L V8 HSE Petrol
Java Black and Alpaca Beige
I am reluctantly selling my rare UK-spec RHD 4.4L V8 Discovery 3.
The 295hp V8 absolutely flies and sounds incredible; it feels like a completely different car to the TDV6. New stainless mufflers and tips added to tune the sound.
It's widely regarded as the most reliable powertrain in any Land Rover, easily reaching 300,000 miles on routine oil and filter changes only.
It is in great condition with full body-colour matched front bumper, rear bumper, arches, skirts, handles, mirrors and rear brake light spoiler.
The underside, sills and crossmember are excellent as it's been kept away from salt and garaged most of its life.
HSE with all the bells and whistles:
Heated front and rear seats
Premium interior package
Sunroof and twin moonroofs with sunshades
Cruise Control
Off-road screen
Satnav
8-way electric adjustable seats with memory function
HK sound system
Auto-on Xenon headlights (with discrete DRL added)
Mini Fridge in centre console
Front/rear parking sensors
Power fold heated wing mirrors
Heated windscreen
Interior Notes:
Interior is excellent with a just small split starting to show on the driver's seat bolster. The rest of the leather, headliner and carpet throughout is in fantastic condition.
Passenger side dashboard is cracked as always happens with these, and the driver's side has a small crack around the AC vent.
There are some general usage marks and scratches to handles and plastics.
Exterior Notes:
Paintwork is in generally very good condition, but has light everyday scratches around door handles, bumpers and some light pinstripes from hedges.
A couple minor scuff marks on bumper and a scratch near the fuel flap shown in photos.
