1989 Press-Launch Pre-Production Discovery GWAC For Sale

G534WAC (SDV 47)
3. 5 Carb V8,
119, 300 miles from new
7-seats,
finished in Silver with Sonar Blue upholstery
She was part of the 86-vehicle Discovery launch fleet in the autumn of 1989 and has showcased at launch as an 'up-spec-ed' vehicle that was fitted with Air con, no sunroofs also had a couple of little touches that were not carried over to production these include walnut finishers on the switches around the dashboard and a walnut frame around the stereo, and in the boot sun blinds were fitted for the alpine, rear and boot window.


During her years in my ownership she has been displayed at many Land Rover shows, featured in Land Rover World and Land Rover Classic magazines. In 2018 she was selected by JLR to represent Land Rover on 2 occasions as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations at Land Rover Classic Works for the YouTube broadcast & at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. More recently she was used at Land Rover design studios to show case Discovery from original to current generation. She has also been used by YouTube channel Landroverphotoalbum for an in-depth documentary film.

She is in a very original condition and has been well looked after throughout her life, this resulted in her not requiring a massive overhaul. She has required the age related works but that has all been kept original and sympathetic. Boot floor and inner wings are strong, but last year the sills and part of the foot wells were replaced.

She has been dry stored for the last 10 years only coming out for shows and special occasions and has not been used in the winter for the last 8 years. She is not pristine however and would benefit from a small amount of work to bring her back to show room condition if it was desired. This is all cosmetic works that are required as she is structurally sound. Engine and gearbox are excellent for their age and mileage with no synchro issues in 2nd.

This is a very reluctant Sale.
