Discovery doesn't really have the same 'iconic' attraction though Rob, plenty of alternatives out there.
Series 1 and 2 Discovery have become collectable
Prices are rising again as people realize they are getting something that will compete with a defender off road, but has a heater that works, is watertight (mostly..lol) and is comfy.
Get a Subaru Forrester..will out last your golf, will swallow your tackle...I mean gear...lol...will return decent MPG and will do 200k easily if you want to keep it
Get an XT version and it will do all of the above and 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds..lol
And its become a bit of an icon and a following is building up. I am going back to Subaru after 18 faultless months in a Skoda...but it does not have the "Soul" of a Subaru
