Up for sale are 2 Discovery 1's. The idea was to build a camping and offroad vehicle with enough space for the whole family, comfortable to take on longer trips. The Series doesn't fit that bill at all as it's only got 2 seats, little storage space and is not what most would consider comfortable.
The reason there are 2 for sale is that I bought one as a running 'low mileage' base and the other was a donor for the off road parts. The parts donor apparently ran just prior to me buying it but I've never seen it run. I have a sneaking suspicion that there is something going on with the immobilizer I've read about as it won't even let the starter crank. All that being said, I've never actually tried to get it going other than turning the key. As for details:
