This 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 SD is a rare, one-owner example finished in Altai Silver with a gray leather interior, showing just 109,800 original miles. It features the increasingly hard-to-find “smooth roof”—a clean, early production detail that sets it apart from later models. Completely original and well-preserved, this Disco 1 offers a chance to own a piece of Land Rover history that hasn’t been chopped, lifted, or over-modified.

The truck has just undergone a major service and is mechanically dialed in. Recent work includes a new fuel pump, new alternator, new battery, and a new exhaust system. The front and rear brakes have been completely overhauled, including new calipers, and new rear brake lines were installed. A new A-arm ball joint addresses a known wear point, and several oil leaks were repaired, giving peace of mind for long-term ownership. The tires are fresh BFGoodrich All-Terrains, maintaining both period-correct looks and everyday usability.

Inside, the original gray leather interior remains intact, with the headliner professionally re-covered—a smart refresh for an otherwise stock cabin. The vehicle retains its factory equipment, paint, and trim, and has not been subjected to off-road abuse or amateur modifications.

Early Discovery 1s in this kind of condition, with a known history and this level of originality, are becoming increasingly scarce. If you’re looking for a clean, mechanically sorted, and collectible example of one of Land Rover’s most iconic models, this smooth-roof '97 Discovery 1 SD is a standout.
