            Remarkably clean 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II. This is the second year of the Discovery Series II, SE model. It is fairly loaded with all Power amenities except DVD system. This Discovery also has dual Power sunroofs ( both work fine and DO NOT leak), roof bars and the factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed). No engine issues or other drama. The powertrain runs GREAT. Additionally, it has fairly rare GRAY leather upholstery interior ( as opposed to the common tan), which offsets it very nicely with its original burgundy factory finish. ZERO RUST.

I believe in full disclosure to the best of my abilities. I purchased the DII from the original owner for the SD roof rack, which is a rare option that most people actually dislike. I have uninstalled it ( as most people are concerned about height clearances anyway), and I am listing it back for sale for a bit less than what I paid for it.  Therefore, it was NOT my mom's car, my wife's who drove it on the weekends or my grandma who drove it to church. I believe in being honest and upfront. 
That being said, the original owner provided me with an extensive pdf file of most of its service and repair history, which is nice to have.

This Land Rover is and has been a 100% rust-free CALIFORNIA CAR all of its life. It has been locally owned since purchased brand-new at Land Rover of San Jose in the south bay, and owned by the same person since. It was tapped once in the rear bumper area by a minivan ( it should be shown in the CARFAX report as well), and being still a fairly new Land Rover at that time, the insurance company paid a ridiculous amount to settle claim, hence it carries salvage title ( as it occurs when an insurance company pays a significant amount based on the value of the vehicle).

There are NO other accidents, repaints, or anything other than normal driving conditions around the Bay area, where it has always lived. There are NO signs or indication of damage anywhere on the body, other than the small crack on the plastic. Moreover, this Landie runs VERY well, tracks smoothly and drives very nicely both in town and in the highway.

All Power accessories work well, to include its ICE-COLD Air Conditioning system, both Power sunroofs, all Power windows, both Power seats, the cruise control, and all instruments and lights. There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or HDC lights turned off or reset). The DII has 167K original miles on the strong, reliable 4.0L engine. NO 4.6L engine nightmares here.

In addition, this one is also equipped with  the optional ACE  handling package option (Active Cornering Enhancement, an electronically controlled hydraulic anti-roll bar system, which reduced cornering roll).
It is noted by the original owner that there are extensive service records including recent maintenance and service going back to 2000, but as they were not present at the time of the listing, I am not stating their availability. Should he send them to me, I will gladly include them.

This DII had a new set of MICHELIN Latitude radials installed last year; they have at least 80% tread left.

Considering its vintage, This Discovery II is remarkably clean, and the photos do not do it justice~! The 2000 SE is one of the best years to own. It is turn-key, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker. In addition, it has had a full brake service performed about a year ago, and all-new radial tires in December.

The interior upholstery is in remarkable shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather. The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area. RARE gray leather interior upholstery, which offsets very nicely with its glossy factory burgundy finish. Absolutely ZERO RUST throughout the whole car.


Feel free to EM or call with pertinent questions or inquiries. I am a private seller, not some car dealer outfit, a used-car car lot, and MOST definitely not one of those sketchy types selling cars in a parking lot.

I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. I am well versed on all the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DII as a VERY solid, straight and completely rust-free example of a Discovery. This Landie sits quietly in the driveway at my home, in company of my three other Rovers.

                     The Land Rover has always been a one-owner Land Rover DII since new, and has always been here locally. Honest CARFAX REPORT and original-ownership since new. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition reflects it.
Overall, a straight, good-running Discovery for a modest, fair price. Needs nothing and runs and drives very well. Serious inquiries please. 

I Shall be glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Discovery.


              Should you be the winning bidder, we would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to our local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Upon receipt of payment, we will overnight the title, registration card, bill of sale and all service records to the winning bidder for your protection.


       Thank you for your interest~!

Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]

Mon, Jan 5 2015

A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.

Jaguar Land Rover is going to call itself 'JLR' and spin off brands

Wed, Apr 19 2023

Embracing the current popular philosophy that less is more, the executives at Jaguar Land Rover plan to officially rename their company “JLR” and to create a new “house of brands” that will emphasize name equity and refocus its vehicle offerings. In simple terms, the British-based, India-owned company will split into four separate brands: Range Rover, Discovery, Defender and Jaguar. While this shift may appear to be essentially a function of marketing and dealership bookkeeping, the over-arching reason is to give some of the brands more visibility. Details of the plan, which would reconfigure showrooms in Britain into discrete brand footprints, were discussed this week at a presentation by JLR CEO Adrian Mardell. “The reality is Range Rover is a brand and so is Defender,’” said creative officer Gerry McGovern. “Customers say they own a Range Rover. In luxury, you need absolute clarity. Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography doesnÂ’t give it. We love Land Rover, but there isn't as much equity as Range Rover, and Defender is increasing massively.”  Underlying the effort is plans to reinvent Jaguar as an electric-only luxury brand, Mardell said that this was “unfinished business” for him since he joined Jaguar 32 years ago. “The Jaguar of 32 years ago is where weÂ’re going back to and the right place for us to be." He further acknowledged that JLR had been “quiet” recently in the face of semiconductor chip shortages, but allowed that that situation was easing at his company.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
