- Just two registered keepers
- Well-preserved and superbly presented throughout

The Appeal
To remain competitive in a burgeoning 4x4 market, Land Rover first identified a need to offer a more road-friendly model during the late 1960s, kickstarting the development of what would later become the ‘Range Rover’. Over the next two decades, this revolutionary SUV would become progressively more luxurious, revealing a niche for yet another Land Rover product to bridge the gap between its two core models.
That niche was filled in 1989 by the Discovery - which to this day is perhaps the firm’s most accomplished all-rounder. The Discovery 4 is held in particularly high regard and we’re delighted to offer this well-specified and judiciously maintained 2013 example.
Originally UK-supplied but now located in Italy, it has benefitted from full service history in adherence to JLR’s schedule - initially with main dealers and latterly with independent marque specialists. This Discovery presents superbly throughout, and the vendor comments that it has proved exceedingly reliable for long-distance Continental touring, regular family car duties and occasional light towing.
Discovery experts often cite the SDV6 as the engine to have, as the more powerful of the 3.0-litre diesel V6s, and this one further benefits from ZF’s excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox - a feature introduced in 2012. It is highly specified throughout, and a particular highlight is the sumptuous leather upholstery which belies its age.
Road registered in Italy, complete with a valid Revisione and recently fitted with new General Grabber AT tyres, this Land Rover is ready to use.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
