Evening folk.

I'm after a rough price guide on a 2 owner Discovery 1 please.
It's a nice Green, 1993, 200tdi, each owner for 10 years, cream interior, manual, looks much cleaner than average (in photos admittedly, albeit numerous and varied photos ).
Never been offroaded by current owner.
What's it worth please?

Thanks in advance, Stuart.

Disco1's are near enough worthless, so a really good one would be <£2k.

At the momment !!!! How little were early range rovers only a few years ago
And series 3's??? You would need a good wad to get a nice one now.. So me thinks it might make 2k now but who knows in a few years kept nice it might be a good investment.

Cheers Gents.

So a 2 owner Manual with the 'lovely' cream interior is worth a grand all day long?

Thanks for the replies, Stuart.

yeah but a disco just isnt ever going to be a range rover, or have the charm of a series 3....

It's going to be good at what it needs to be, which is a cheap 4 x 4 which is useable daily and will sell for what i paid for it in a year or two's time.
The simple fact of the matter is, blowing my savings on a nice series 2 that i can't use (comfortably for the wife to not complain) every day while being unemployed is simply not feasible.
That said, does anyone know of any jobs going in N Yorks/County Durham that I haven't already applied for!?

Is it a 3 door or a 5 door? The former are slightly more valuable depending on how/where you advertise it.

It's a 5 door, which is what I need to be honest.
I'm still looking for my 'one owner landed gentry 2 door range rover classic' dream!
Got a bit of savings tucked away for that particular occasion! Lol.

2K is the very top end for 200TDi. You could get a tidy 300TDi for that.

Check the Body mounts, boot floor, the front inner wings, rear seat belt mounting (inside the rear wheel arch), all hot spots for rust.
