At Legacy Overland, we’ve built a reputation for honoring automotive legends — and few vehicles deserve that honor more than the Land Rover Discovery family. From the pioneering Discovery 1 to the refined Discovery 4 (known in North America as the LR4), these machines combine iconic off-road capability with rugged, yet understated British charm.
Our latest project, Project Lorelei, showcases what’s possible when you take a 2012 Land Rover LR4 and apply Legacy Overland’s meticulous restoration philosophy: a fusion of craftsmanship, modern upgrades, and reverence for the original vehicle’s DNA.
The Discovery Series: A Legacy of Adventure
The Land Rover Discovery lineup spans generations of off-road excellence:
Discovery 1 (1989–1998) — The boxy icon that brought Land Rover adventure to the masses
Discovery 2 (1998–2004) — Enhanced refinement while staying true to rugged roots
Discovery 3 / LR3 (2004–2009) — Engineering leaps with modern air suspension and a more robust platform
Discovery 4 / LR4 (2009–2016) — Luxury blended with true off-road grit, culminating in the model we proudly restored here
At Legacy Overland, we specialize in restoring all generations of the Discovery series, whether you seek to preserve a classic Disco 1 or elevate a late-model LR4 into an overland-ready, bespoke masterpiece.
Inside Project Lorelei: A 2012 Land Rover LR4 Reimagined
Exterior Brilliance:
Drenched in a striking Loire Blue, this LR4 is both elegant and purposeful. We added a custom white roof rack and rear ladder, perfect for gear-hauling on remote adventures or simply making a bold statement on city streets.Mechanical Revitalization:
We went deep — overhauling the drivetrain, tuning the suspension, and ensuring the engine purrs with long-haul confidence. With a new set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, this LR4 is ready for the trail or the tarmac.Luxury Interior Restoration:
The cabin, wrapped in beige leather, was meticulously cleaned, conditioned, and refreshed. We updated the dashboard with a modern infotainment and navigation system, blending contemporary convenience with timeless design.Adventure-Ready Enhancements:
Every Legacy Overland project is meant to be used, not just admired. This LR4 is no different — rugged, reliable, and eager for its next chapter.
