With the rare and iconic Sir Terence Conran ‘Sonar Blue’ interior
When Land Rover launched the Discovery Series I in 1989, the brand changed the 4×4 world forever. The goal was clear: to create a versatile, stylish off-road vehicle that bridged the gap between the rugged Series/Defender and the more luxurious Range Rover.
To create a fresh, modern and practical cabin, Land Rover enlisted the renowned British designer Sir Terence Conran (founder of Habitat and The Design Museum) at the time. The result was a masterpiece of ‘Design with Purpose’, including the iconic turquoise-blue (Sonar Blue) interior that today represents the holy grail for early Discovery collectors.
This 1990 example is the highly sought-after and clean 3-door version in classic Alpine White. The contrast between the fresh white bodywork and the striking turquoise-blue interior gives this vehicle an unrivalled 1990s character.
Conran designed the cabin with clever, well-considered details: from the ergonomic layout of the dashboard and storage compartments to the removable sunglasses holder and distinctive fabric upholstery. Early examples from the first two production years in this condition and colour scheme have now become extremely rare, as many of these workhorses have not survived the passage of time.
This originally delivered Discovery remains in original condition, running and driving. Mechanically, the vehicle has been inspected, well maintained and is ready for its next adventure or collection.
