Description
This Discovery II is presented in a custom Surf Touring specification, combining a period-correct visual identity with a carefully engineered mechanical setup. The mild lift provides a balanced, factory-plus stance, while upgraded suspension and steering components enhance control, durability, and overall drivability without altering the vehicle’s original proportions.
The exterior displays a clean side profile with properly centered axles and aligned wheels, reflecting a well-sorted chassis rather than an aggressive off-road build. Inside, the cabin retains its original layout and comfort, complemented by Scottish tweed seat inserts that add character while remaining true to the vehicle’s heritage.
Overall, this is a touring-focused Discovery, developed for balance, usability, and correct geometry. It stands apart from standard examples through quality execution and restraint, making it a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive yet properly engineered Discovery II.
Interior upholstery has been upgraded with 900 GSM Scottish tweed seat inserts, complementing the original tan trim. This Discovery II presents as a well-kept, tastefully updated example of the model, combining classic Land Rover character with select modern enhancements.
Equipment includes power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, and a single-DIN Android head unit (8GB RAM / 256GB storage) paired with a Pioneer sound system and external amplifier.
The 4.0-liter Rover V8 was factory rated at 188 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. Recent service work includes replacement of the aluminum water pump, Hayden 2991 severe-duty thermal fan clutch, throttle body heater plate, spark plugs, ignition wires, engine oil, and fuel filler cap.
This Discovery is best described as a touring-focused build rather than an extreme off-road conversion—engineered for balance, usability, and visual correctness. The combination of mild lift, high-quality suspension components, and corrected geometry results in a vehicle that looks right, drives properly, and stands apart from standard examples without compromising originality.
