Currently reading: Land Rover Discovery gets Anniversary edition to celebrate 30 years

Limited run marks model's 1.7 million worldwide sales to date

Land Rover has announced a limited-run version of the Land Rover Discovery to celebrate 30 years of the model being on sale.

Only 400 Discovery Anniversary Editions will be coming to the UK, at £59,995 each, and will include a selection of extra equipment as standard. 

The Anniversary Edition SUV, which is based on the Discovery Sd6 SE, will arrive in either Corris grey, Loire blue, Indus silver or Santorini black colours, and ride on 22in wheels. A panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass and a 380-watt Meridian sound system complete the package. Adding the same equipment to a standard Sd6 SE would cost £63,825.

Performance remains the same as the regular car, at 302bhp and 516lb ft of torque from the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine for a 0-60mph time of 7 seconds and 130mph top speed.

"The Discovery family represents the pinnacle of versatility," Land Rover UK managing director Rawdon Glover said. "Discovery has evolved in its 30-year history to consistently bring technology, capability and relevance."

The first Discovery went on sale in the UK in 1989, and the range has gone on to sell more than 1.7 million cars worldwide to date.
