1989 Land Rover Discovery Tdi

Brilliant work horse, this one :-)

This is one of the first Discoveries and hence it's a three-door model. The thinking behind giving it only three doors is said to be so that it could be differentiated from the Range Rover - as if the shape didn't do that already!. It has Land Rover's saviour of an engine - the 200-series Tdi - and an LT77 five-speed manual. It's covered 160,000 miles and is still going strong!

It's recently had some new tyres thrown on it and is used for trailer towing - most recently to get amputated bits of Range Rover to the tip!

Specs:

• 2.5-litre, in-line four-cylinder turbocharged diesel (200 Tdi)
