1997 Land Rover
Discovery XD


Limited Edition #40 of only 250
built


$12,500 or best
reasonable offer






This is a very rare 1997 Disovery. Only 250 Discovery
XD models were built in 1997. hand built by Land Rover Special Vehicles, #40 of 250 built. What makes this one even better is that it has
the rare Event Decal Package kit professionally applied. The 3 prior owners
were all Land Rover fanatics as well. Always fanatically services. There is NOT
a cleaner, better maintained Discovery XD around! The XD has 116k miles on it.
You'd never know that looking/driving it. It drives like new! The paint is super
glossy with no dents, and only a couple tiny dings. Never been in an accident,
clean CarFax. Never abused or carelessly offroaded. Never smoked in. Rear seat
hardly ever used. Every single feature on this great Land Rover works
perfectly. A/C blows cold. Most people assume this is a new Land Rover when
they see it. I get waves and thumbs up from people all the time. Kids love the
look of this thing! I have only put 4,000 careful miles on this XD. I am
selling it as I miss my Range Rover Classic and want to go back to that
model.






4.0 liter 182 HP aluminum V8. Transmission shifts
smooth. Runs awesome, pulls strong and gets around 15 MPG. Freshly installed
K&N air filter. All water and oil hoses replaced within last 3 months.
Radiator flushed. No oil leaks!! No body or frame rust. A few spare parts
included.






The 1997 Limited Edition Discovery XD had all the
standard features of other Discovery models: A/C, AM/FM Cassette stereo with 6
disc CD Changer, multi speakers with subwoofer. Power door locks, mirrors and
windows. Remote control entry/alarm system. Headlight washers. Trailer hitch
receiver with wiring harness. Hi/Lo range gear box with Center Diff Lock
option. Shifts in and out of Hi/Lo with no problems. I have the original window
sticker, brochures, owner's manual, as well as info on service and more form
the prior owners. Interior is near perfect, the seats have NEVER been sat on
without the waterproof covers being on ad thus the seats are in perfect brand
new shape under the covers. This is one WELL CARED for XD!!


Special XD Equipment
AA yellow exterior with black hood and black
exterior trim
Black "Castor" alloy wheels
Safety Devices Safari Roof Rack
Wrap around brush guards
Land Rover Driving Lights
Rear Light Guards
Engine Protection plate (skid plate, very
beefy!)
Rear Door Ladder
Custom XD Spare tire cover
Beige cloth interior with customized XD waterproof
seat covers (seats have never been sat on without the covers on them and look
like brand new!)
Rubber Floor mats (standard mats included as
well)
XD Nomenclature and graphics
Event Decal package
Further upgrades:
Old Man Emu medium duty springs and shocks, 2"
lift
Old Man Emu steering stabilizer
Trailer brake controller
Custom fit Covercraft Evolution all weather car
cover with cable and lock
The previous owner had the whole truck prepped and
then the Event Decal package applied. It is showing no signs of wear. I just
had is serviced at West Coast British, one of THE best and most knowledgeable
LR mechanics in the US, and it needs NOTHING... other than a new owner. I am
asking $12,500, but I will entertain all reasonable offers. You could find a
1997 Discovery XD for less, but keep in mind that there were only 250 of these
made, and most XD's are beaten, extensively modified off road rigs. This one
has had an easy life and the only reason I am selling it is that I miss my
Range Rover Classic and want to switch back. Shipping can be arranged. Located in San Jose, California.

Great looking truck -- hope my G4 looks that good 8 years down the line.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but were those American flag stickers on the fenders from the factory? Or did someone (either you or a previous owner) add them later?

i only ask because the are reversed. The "backwards" one should be on the passenger (right) side of the vehicle and the traditional on the left. This is so it appears as if real flags were flowing with the wind. Those stickers depict the opposite however.

Like I said, not trying to be jerky. I'm just a little sensitive about the use of the flag. You can check here if you are so inclined: http://www.usflag.org/flagpatch.html

Nice lookin XD

Great looking car. I hope you get every bit of that price. I have a 96 XD/CT test truck that I'd like to see the prices go back up on. Good luck.

Those were part of the Event Decal Package.. and you are correct, they were put on backwards... I noticed that a few months after I bought it, it's gonna stay that way.
