cleanCalifornia/Nevada history, under 100k miles, and documented mechanical sorting give this 2001 Land Rover Discovery II SE a stronger case than the typical modified Disco. Finished in black over beige leather, it is located in Truckee, California and offered by a private seller with a clean title and 97,712 miles. Power comes from Land Rover’s 4.0L V8 paired with a ZF 4-speed automatic transmission and LT230Q transfer case, while the build adds a 2-inch medium-duty coil spring lift, Baja Rack full-length roof rack, front steel bumper with winch mount, BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, heavy-duty steering components, stainless brake hoses, ScanGauge II monitor, LED accent lighting, and cooling-system work backed by invoices from British 4x4 of Reno and Truck Envy.
- 4.0L V8, ZF Automatic, and LT230Q Transfer Case: Land Rover’s 4.0L V8 was factory-rated at 188 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, paired here with the ZF dual-mode electronically controlled 4-speed automatic and LT230Q transfer case. Recent seller-provided work includes an inline coolant thermostat kit, cooling-system overhaul, fresh synthetic 15W-40 oil change, replacement front driveshaft with greasable U-joints, stainless brake hose kit, and new brake master cylinder.
- Classic Discovery II Trail Setup: The 2-inch medium-duty coil spring lift, BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, Baja Rack, front steel bumper with integrated winch mount, heavy-duty track rod and drag link, steering stabilizer, and front/rear anti-roll bar drop links give this truck a usable mountain-travel setup without overbuilding it. The photo set also shows a clean, cohesive black exterior, roof rack, front bumper, rear ladder/spare setup, underbody details, and factory-style wheels.
- Documented Mechanical Sorting: The seller notes the cooling system was addressed before cosmetic upgrades began, including a replacement radiator, hoses, and expansion tank. The “3 Amigos” ABS/traction-control fault was also diagnosed and repaired, which matters on a Discovery II because cooling and warning-light issues are among the first things informed buyers ask about.
- West Coast History: CARFAX shows long-term California history, Nevada title activity, no title brands, no odometer rollback indication, no open recalls, and 19 service history records. The report lists a November 2016 minor front damage event, and later service in May 2023 included brakes checked, cooling system checked, fluids checked, and cylinder head service/repair at Avant Werks in Truckee.
About the Land Rover Discovery II
The Land Rover Discovery II sits in an interesting place in the brand’s enthusiast timeline. It kept the boxy, upright Discovery profile, Alpine windows, high seating position, and trail-friendly proportions of the original Discovery while adding a more refined chassis, more modern interior, and additional electronic traction systems.
For buyers, the appeal is character and utility. A Discovery II is not a sterile modern SUV; it is a body-on-frame-feeling British 4x4 with real cargo room, strong visibility, a useful roofline, and a huge amount of personality. The best examples are the ones that have had the known maintenance items addressed, especially cooling, driveline, braking, and warning-light issues.
