    Land Rover Discovery 1 - Is the first Discovery becoming a classic?

    Asked by Donna

    I've noticed the asking prices for examples of the first-generation Land Rover Discovery starting to climb. Will they be a sought after classic in the future, or does a Defender make a smarter investment?

    Indeed it will so get in quick.

    With its mix of classic Range Rover and a Rover Group parts-bin bits, Morris Marina door handles, Austin Montego van tail-lights and Buick’s ancient alloy V8 all part of the mix, this thing is pre-BMW/post-BMC era British engineering genius.

    Also, the original Disco is cool, with its lovely two-door wagon body, stepped roof with skylights and airy, inviting cabin offering minimalist, attractive design. And please don't forget the Land Rover's formidable 4x4 capabilities.

    All-in-all, a '90s classic worth collecting. Land Rover doesn't make 'em like this any more.
