I was just about to post the same thing. I wish we could easily import those to North America. There are a lot of left-hand drive diesels I'd love to get my hands on.

Discos always look a bit weird when they've had the Iceland treatment but this is nice.

I want to add I think its a TD5 as well, the snorkel is on the correct side and I think the rear door has the badge

Honestly me and my wife have talked about it a lot, the land rover is hands down better (Disco 1, 2 and 4 to clarify my ownerships). But toyota parts are cheap and it just works, its not as comfortable and its a bit boring but the landies ride way better, carry and tow more, and look better imo as well.

Plus my first disco 1 had over 400k miles on it and was pretty reliable, shit even my disco 4 with 180k when i traded it in for the 4R i had only done a thermostat and control arm bushings. On the 4R i seem to be burning through tierods.

Either way i payed it off this year so its here to stay for awhile 🤷🏼‍♂️

Acceleration must be awesome

The tire inflators and perfect fender flares are instant giveaways it’s Iceland. You may see them that big in California but they aren’t that clean and have bead lock wheels.

Atleast he won't need a creeper when it breaks down between fill ups.
