Just bought a year ago to restore and haven't had the time. Repairs needed include air cond, radio, left driver window, back right door, not drivable until the brakes are fixed. Excellent for someone who wants to restore and collect. There are only 100 estimated left in the world. Make me an offer! Paid $5000 a year ago

 

So...I'm curious, what makes it an XD, and what's special about the XD?

 

Only 250 were offered in '97. They all came in the distinctive AA yellow with XD decals. A special roof rack, ladder, seat covers, blacked out Castor wheels and a number of other small details made them unique and desirable.

This one seems to be missing most of the decals. Check out this photo of an XD.

It looks like this is the same truck up for sale sometime in the past.

R M R 4x4 LLC - 1997 Land Rover Discovery XD - Birmingham, Alabama

 

It is the same truck. Some of the pics are the same in both ads. Looks like the truck didn't sell and now the owner is trying again at $1900 less, or he stole the pics from the old ad and has no new pics of it. Wonder what the mileage is? The old ad has 112,515 miles on the odo...

 

post the vin or you can't say its an XD.

although you can order XD sticker packages. I have a very old parts bulletin that lists it all.

 

Did you guys ever determine whether or not its a legit XD Edition Disco? The VIN is provided in one of the pics: SALJY124XVA716742

 

We bought it from the alabama ad one year ago I used the pictures from there webpage cause I have it in the garage it's the same car

 

The mileage is 119073

 

So what would you feel is a fair price then?
