So a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon a local listing for a discovery diesel. *I currently own a RRC with 230,000 miles and enjoy driving it every day! *but i was looking for another off road toy to play with. *The discovery had the paint *scheme of a camel trophy disco and I thought it was fake....but Boy, was I wrong. *So I jumped on it and I found a pretty nice but rough gem in the desert. *I'm still doing some research, but I will let you do some deciphering for yourself. *All I do know, is that this is a real CT truck and that it was being flat towed when the trailering truck was in an accident. *The trailering truck hit black ice and flipped. *The word is, possibly the winning truck of 1993 Malaysia or possible training truck. The passenger side slid and was cosmetically damaged. *I found it from an older gentleman in the Colorado desert who picked it up from the original owner after this accident. *I have documentation all the way from Land Rover Of USA in 1999 where it was sold as an offroad vehicle only and did not meet DOT. I'm also waiting on a Heritage certificate and technical data sheet. *It has 17,000 km on the dash and had a broken caliper which is now fixed. More to come!

fantastic piece of LR history

 

That's awesome! I think you might need a few more spare alternators though.

A new rear quarter will get it straight, but losing that faded original paint will be a bummer. Looks like you can push most of the passenger side back out enough to make it functional, and having it all scarred up makes it look even more legit.
