Land Rover Let Matt Configure His Own Disco, And He Didn’t Hold Back.

- Matt Raudonikis

BACK IN the middle of last year we asked Land Rover if we could get a Discovery Sd4 as a long-term test vehicle. This was the vehicle we had recently awarded as our 4x4 of the Year and we were keen to see what living with it and exploring in it over an extended period would be like.

Land Rover told us it was ordering its stock of 2019-spec cars and the then-current fleet was being pulled out of service, so they offered us the chance to specify and order a vehicle as we would like it via the online vehicle configurator at www.landrover.com.au

Now it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to afford to order and buy a new vehicle of any kind, let alone something the calibre of the Discovery, so I was pretty chuffed at being let loose on the configurator with the promise of an actual vehicle at the end of it.

I’ve played with vehicle configurators from many manufacturers plenty of times, but it was only ever dreaming of how I’d spec a car. This was the real thing.
