[Sold] 2005 Discovery 3 HSE TDV6
The time has come to sell my Discovery 3 after getting the confirmed delivery date of my new Discovery 5.
Its been the best car I've ever had, hence owning it for the past 16 years. No expense has been spared; I have a pile of receipts for general maintenance and modifications (see photos)
Please note that condition is not perfect due to its age and mileage but it has been meticulously looked after as well as used as it should be over the years. Buyer will need to appreciate that it needs work to be perfect; please see list of bad points below. I started to collect parts to fix but then placed an order for a new Discovery 5 so never took it any further. Parts will be provided with sale as per the description below.
The V5 shows 2 previous owners but I've had it since new. The car was originally a company car from new in 2005. Then purchased in 2007 in my name and was put into my wife's name in 2015; hence the V5 showing 3 owners to date although it’s always been mine.
Mileage as of today is 267,408 but its being used daily so will rise. I typically do 300-350 miles per week.
Car is Buckingham Blue, but was wrapped gloss white in 2016
Its a 6 speed manual gear box HSE with all the standard spec that came with it.

- Coolant pipes were modified in January 2021 following a leak which means the rear heater in the boot for the 6th and 7th seats doesn't blow hot. Its still got a slight leak since the modification was carried which means I'm having to top up the coolant every 4-5 days or it shows on dash as starting to overheat
I'm sure I've missed something but tried to list as much info as possible. Please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss.
SOLD

Will be sad to see the D3 go, been such an amazing car. Great day out with the horses today; towed effortlessly as always. I hope the D5 is as good!
