This Land Rover Discovery got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1996 Land Rover Discovery was acquired by the seller in 2021 and imported from Guatemala to the US in 2022, and it shows 139k kilometers (~86k miles). Finished in green over beige leather, it is powered by a 3.9-liter V8 mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case, and it is equipped with a locking center differential, 16″ wheels, running boards, a brush guard, a tow ball, a Pioneer head unit, a third-row jump seat, and front and rear air conditioning. The seller reports that it was registered with one owner in Guatemala before their acquisition, and states that subsequent work included an exterior repaint and replacing a tie rod, bushings, shocks, and the tires. This 5-speed Discovery is now offered with partial service records, a removed jump seat, import documents, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a clean Carfax report, and a bonded Texas title in the seller’s name.
