1997 Discovery SD7, $11,500

155k on the chassis, mileage of Tdi unknown
ZF Automatic
Defender 110 springs
Bilstein 5100 shocks
ARB Front Bumper
Warn M8000 Winch

TF Rock Sliders
(5) 245/75-16 BFG AT's

This truck came in as a bone stock driver that someone had previously performed the Tdi conversion on. I'm not sure it ever saw dirt, and am pretty convinced someone was using it as a daily driver solely for fuel economy. I had a donor Disco here at the shop that all of the aftermarket parts were transferred over from last week.

I put 1,000 miles on it over the weekend, and it really is a nice running and driving truck. I averaged 20mpg running 75-77 on the interstate rather comfortably. Rust is non existent from what I've been able to tell, and the interior is very strong.

I'm in the process of getting more pictures of the truck taken, so expect to see more later this afternoon. If you're interested please call me at 352.572.3236 and I can go much further into detail about the truck than I care to type.

sounds more than fair. I get roughly 23.5mpg with mine. I have an ARB up front, but no rack. Your's does look prettier though. Shouldnt be hard to move.
