Description
Upgraded 4. 6L V8, LPG Conversion, OME Suspension, Safety Devices Roof Rack, Rust-Free Chassis.
This 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 is an exceptionally well-maintained and upgraded example of a true modern classic. It combines off-road capability, V8 power, and LPG economy, making it both a thrilling and practical choice.
Fitted with a 4. 6L V8 engine from RPI Engineering, this Discovery offers smooth, powerful performance and a deep, throaty exhaust note that turns heads.
The LPG conversion ensures better fuel economy, achieving around 24 MPG on the motorway, while still delivering the raw driving experience of a proper V8 Land Rover.
The engine was upgraded from the original 4. 0L to a 4. 6L by RPI Engineering at approximately 60, 000 miles. Since then, it has covered 80, 000 miles, while the chassis itself has 145, 000 miles.
The rust-free chassis and extensive servicing history make this one of the most solid Discovery 2 examples available today.
