Im offering up my personally owned 2003 Land Rover Discovery II SE w/80k miles for sale or your best reasonable cash offer. I have owned the truck for just over a year and recently bought a full-sized truck for work and no longer have a need for the Discovery. This is a 100% legitimate 2 Owner vehicle with no BS stories, Im in contact with the original owner and neither of us have ever spare any expense in the service of this Discovery and by all means I consider this a RARE find in a Discovery. If you make me an offer, please send me a telephone number to call you prior to accepting your offer I will call you...


History

I'm a self proclaimed Rover junkie and have owned several Discovery's and Range Rovers over the past 10 years. I'm extremely familiar with all their pro's and con's of ownership and this Discovery was purchased after several months of looking for the right Discovery with a 100% CLEAN history. The Discovery was originally purchased in Hawaii by a gentleman who was in Hawaii as a Red Cross Volunteer. When his volunteer term ended he shipped the vehicle back to the states where it was donated back to the Red Cross to be sold at a charity auction where the proceeds benefitted the Red Cross. I heard about the truck through a friend of mine in Atlanta, GA and went to the Red Cross event and purchased the truck and brought it home to Panama City Beach, FL. At the time of purchase the Discovery had 59k miles.

The Exterior

The exterior is in near flawless condition, the paint shows with a near showroom shine and has a deep gloss and reflection. The truck has never had any previous paint or body work and literally has maybe 2 door dings on the entire body. There is a couple of light scratches on the passenger rear corner but these could easily be buffed out, they are not deep or all that bad. There are two minor dings on either side of the upper rear of the truck, above the taillights. You would likely never notice them unless I pointed them out. The worst part of the exterior is the front center bumper cover section is cracked and broke in a few places (see pics). In person you can hardly notice because the truck is black and the under portion is black so it is kind of hard to spot unless your looking for it. This is a very common thing for a 03-04 Discovery...

The Interior

The interior much like the exterior is near flawless and has NEVER been smoked in. The leather is in excellent condition and shows with very little wear. The carpets have been covered with the original factory heavy rubber floor mats preserving the carpet in like new condition. The rear cargo area has the factory original cargo cover which is rare to find a Discovery with the cargo cover. The headliner is brand new and less than a week old. I went with a black headliner to offset the gray and it looks great. The interior is in like new condition and shows extremely well, near showroom condition when its cleaned up.

Mechanically

Mechanically the truck is 100% solid and I can write a novel on all the service work I have done to the truck in the year I have owned it. I bought the truck with 59k and at 62k the original 4.6 Litre developed a tick that by 64k became more of a knock. The 03-04 4.6 litre motors are known for slipping cylinder sleeves (google it) causing the motor to tick/knock. I purchased a used 2002 4.0 litre with 43k miles and had it installed in the Discovery and the factory ECU reprogrammed for the 4.0 litre. There is literally no difference in the way the truck drives or pulls a trailer. I have the paperwork for the motor and motor swap which indicates the miles on the used motor and the Discovery at the time of installation.

The tires are all Michelins with easily 70% or more treadwear remaining. I also had the rear brakes done about 2 months ago with new pads and rotors, most recent oil change was about 2 weeks ago and I always run 15w 40 Rotella in it. The Discovery hits the road PERFECT with no shakes, vibrations, pulling, or anything out of the ordinary. The Discovery does not have any indicator lights on, although the check engine light is known to come on and off depending on 2 common reasons, 1. the gas cap not being on tight or 2. an O2 sensor that I think is on its way out. It's off more than it comes on, however the gas cap can be tricky at times.

Overall

Overall in my opinion the Discovery is a rare find due to the low miles, 2 owners, and service history. It's hard to find a clean Discovery thats hasnt had a million owners, and with a complete service history and been this well cared for. I'm only selling it because my work needs have changed and need something that will pull a much heavier load than my boat or jet skis...

Payment

For payment I'm requiring a 20% NON-REFUDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the close of the sale and remaining balance within 5 days form the end of the sale. I will accept bank to bank wire transfers and verifiable cashiers checks only, no exceptions. I owe a little bit of money on the Discovery so my credit union has a lien on the electronic title. Once payment in full has been made the credit union will release the lien and the electronic title can be printed within 48 hours.

Kahn and Evanta team up for hot-rod Defender, custom Barchetta

Thu, Jul 10 2014

If you're familiar with the work of Afzal Kahn, it's probably for his tuned Range Rovers. And if you live in London, you may have seen his Bugatti Veyron with the F1 license plate. But the British tuner and self-styled "automotive fashion designer" is now embarking on a far more ambitious project. Kahn is teaming up with Ant Anstead of Evanta fame – responsible for rebodying Aston Martin DB7s to look like DB4 GTs and that full-scale DBR1/2 model kit – on a new outfit called Ant-Kahn. Far more than a tuning endeavor, Ant-Kahm is setting about creating truly unique (and uniquely British) automobiles. Their first project is called the Flying Huntsman, a long-nose Land Rover Defender that we imagine will emerge as something like a British take on the 1998 Jeepster concept crossed with something Icon might concoct. It'll pack a 6.2-liter GM LS3 V8 producing 550 horsepower, mated to a push-button six-speed automatic transmission, mounted close to the bulkhead with over 15 inches of extra bodywork and set to be unveiled within the coming months. Their second collaboration is set to yield the Evanta Barchetta previewed by rendering above. "Inspired by the design language of 1950s motorsport," the Barchetta pays homage to classic British and Italian roadsters. It's being built around a tubular frame with handcrafted composite Kevlar bodywork and powered by that same LS3 tuned to 450 hp but in a much lighter form than the Flying Hunstman. Only 20 examples will be made after its debut at the Goodwood Revival come September. An Aston Martin project codenamed WB12 is also in the works, painting a picture of an ambitious startup backed by two experienced operators whose projects we're looking forward to seeing come to fruition. Ant-Kahn – The birth of a groundbreaking collaboration between two leading figures in the UK automotive industry. Ant-Kahn is a collaborative partnership between Afzal Kahn - innovative automotive fashion designer and founder of the Kahn group of companies, and Ant Anstead, founder of expert vehicle manufacturer Evanta, and star of Channel 4's "For The Love of Cars". Working together under the Ant-Kahn banner, they will lead a resurgence in British specialist vehicle manufacture, with a number of projects already underway. Their focus is on luxury and quality, using modern prototyping and manufacturing technology, while maintaining the attention to details associated with traditional coach building.

Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime automotive enthusiast

Sun, Sep 11 2022

Since driver's licenses, license plates, and passports were issued in her own name, Queen Elizabeth II didn't need them to drive and travel. She started combining the two just before she turned 19, joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) transport division in 1945 for vehicle mechanic training. She wanted to help the British effort during World War II and would drive an ambulance — one that, theoretically, she could also fix if it broke down. The war ended before she graduated as an Honorary Junior Commander, the other ATS members dubbing her Princess Auto Mechanic. We donÂ’t know if she got under the hoods of the many official state vehicles and the far more numerous unofficial fleet in the royal garages, but she was still driving herself around England as late as this year. Here is a tiny selection of royal conveyances used during her 70-year reign. Gold State Coach (1762) True, she never drove this one, but a tour of every royal garage should start with the coach. King George III commissioned Samuel Butler to build it in 1760. Butler spent two years on the gilded carriage 24 feet long and more than 12 feet high. The quarters are suspended from the frame by leather straps, so occupants get tossed about even during a slow stroll, which is as fast as the eight Windsor Gray horses can pull it. It wasnÂ’t until the 1900s that King George VI rubberized the wooden wheels. Word is the queen didnÂ’t like it.   1953 Land Rover Series 1 Land Rover gave Queen ElizabethÂ’s father, King George VI, the 100th example of the 80 Series off the line in 1948. She picked up the Landie habit for herself five years later, when a 1953 Series 1 with a custom 86-inch wheelbase was part of the fleet used for her six-month tour of the Commonwealth in 1953 and 1954. That Land Rover became Ceremonial Vehicle State IV. The models above were built in Australia in 1958 as near copies of the Commonwealth tour vehicle, when Australia decided it wanted six identical versions for royal service. ItÂ’s thought the royal family went through around 30 Land Rover Series cars and Defenders since then, and many of the most common photos of her have her posing in or near one, especially the 2002 Defender built just for her. The royal family isnÂ’t finished with them, either: A current Defender 110 served as a luggage hauler for family members headed to Balmoral Castle during the queenÂ’s final days.

Second 'No Time To Die' trailer drops with lots of crunching metal

Thu, Sep 3 2020

The second trailer for the new James Bond film, "No Time To Die," was posted to social media Thursday morning, getting us thoroughly hyped for the forthcoming installment thanks to some spicy car content and lots of other ridiculous, big-budget action sequences.  Fair warning for the purists: This might contain plot- and character-related information from the trailer itself. Also, it appears that many Land Rover Defenders died in the making of this film, so the footage may not be for the faint of heart; don't say we didn't give you advance notice.  As is typical of Bond films, most of the automotive eye candy is of the European variety. The classic Aston Martin DB5 gadget car (which we saw doing some crazy machine-gun donuts in the first trailer) makes yet another appearance, as does what appears to be fourth-generation Maserati Quattroporte. There's even something which might be a car, but also appears to be both some sort of airplane and submersible. Never change, Bond. We love it.  And then there are the Defenders. We've got Defenders speeding down hillsides, Defenders crashing through forests, Defenders flying over Land Cruisers. Yeah, do you like Land Cruisers? There's a Land Cruiser. It even (spoiler alert!) survives relatively unscathed; the same cannot be said for most of the automotive shenanigans we get to see here.  "No Time To Die" was originally slated to debut back in April, but its original release date roughly coincided with the projected peak of early coronavirus infections. Given how important the Bond film franchise's continued success is to MGM (it's virtually the only thing the studio has had going for it for 30 years) and the producers (who only make Bond films), meager box office returns were not an option. The last film, Spectre, pulled in the worldwide gross of $880 million, including $200 million in the United States and $83.5 million in China. The wait is almost over. "No Time to Die" will hit theaters Nov. 25 in the United States.  Related Video:
