Clean 1997 Land Rover Discovery Series I Se-7 Off-road Ready Rust Free Ca Disco! on 2040-cars

         Remarkably clean 1997 Land Rover Discovery Series I. This is the fourth year of the Discovery Series I,  SE-7 model, with the extra fold-away seats in rear. 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 factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed).

No engine issues or other drama. The stock 4.0L engine runs GREAT, and had the heads worked on less than 5K ago, aside from other work to include a new ABS module, alternator, starter, readiator, water pump, O2 sensors, battery, brakes and other usual service items. Additionally, it has had professional lift done in rear, along with many Off-road upgrades, to include:

* Front 4:11 Detroit Locker differential

* Rear 4:11 Open differential

* Lift set-up from RoverLand

* Heavy-duty off-road service jack

* Urethane suspension bushings

* A.R.B super heavy-duty front bumper

* WARN electric winch with remote  inside control

* CB radio with frontal antenna mount

* Off-road tires

* Auxiliary Tow loops

* Rear back-up camera

* Factory taillight guards

* Brushguard ( built-in)

* HELLA 500FF auxiliary lights

* Front lift blocks from Roverland available at no charge

* Excellent sound system

         This Land Rover is and has been a 100% rust-free CALIFORNIA CAR all of its life. It has been locally owned since sold brand-new at Land Rover of San Jose in the south bay, and owned by two owners since. 

There are NO 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 some age fading on the roofline ( I have an estimate to match it and refinish it in the factory color for $400 if desired). The rest of the body shines very nicely in its original factory Navy-blue finish.  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 any other lights turned off or reset). The Landie has 189K well-travelled original miles on the strong, reliable 4.0L engine. Absolutely NO 4.6L engine nightmares. 

Considering its vintage, This Discovery I is remarkably clean for its age, 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 off-road radial tires in March.

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 optional rear foldable jump seats. Nice, clean leather interior upholstery, which offsets very nicely with its glossy factory Navy blue finish. Absolutely ZERO RUST throughout the whole car.
       

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 DI as a VERY solid, straight and completely rust-free example of a Discovery. This Landie sits quietly in the garage at my home, in company of my three other Rovers.

                     The Land Rover has always been a two-owner Land Rover DI since new, and has always been here locally in Northern California. Honest CARFAX REPORT and straight ownership since new. FREE AUTOCHECK report also available at NO cost. CLEAN California title and current registration.

NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition and all its upgraded reflect its investment.
Overall, a straight, very strong-running Discovery I with an extensive amount of upgrades for a reasonable, no reserve opening bid. Needs nothing and runs and drives very well. Serious inquiries only, please. 

* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should an offer or a BUT-IT-NOW offer present itself.

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, I 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 my local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

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