The Land Rover Discovery 35th Edition is a limited-run celebration of the Discovery’s 35-year history and comes with the 350d powertrain.

A 2007 Land Rover Discovery 3, first owned by the then Prince Charles, sells at auction for a very modest £12,050.

Land Rover Discovery UPDATED for 2021 – but NOT the wonky tailgate
The Land Rover Discovery has been updated with some minor cosmetic tweaks, a new range of mild hybrid engines and a new Pivi Pro Infotainment.

Why is a Land Rover Discovery towing a four foot chrome RHINO round London?
Land Rover’s Chief Designer, Gerry McGovern, has created a four foot long chrome rhinoceros complete with red horn to support the Tusk Rhino Trail. Car makers love a ’cause’ to hang a non-promo promo on, delivering a caring message and altruistic help to a noble endeavour without reward. Well, apart from the profile. But that’s […]

Land Rover Discovery production to LEAVE the UK for Slovakia
Land Rover Discovery production is to end in the UK as JLR move production of the Discovery to Slovakia to make room for new Range Rover models.

New Land Rover Discovery Commercial – the Discovery turns in to a Posh VAN again
The Land Rover Discovery Commercial returns for the new generation, offering two seats with a big load area behind – and low BIK rates too.
