I recently purchased a may 91 discovery 2 door from an old couple who had it since new. Low Ks, service history and stock standard.
I really liked our 95 300Tdi and wish we had kept it as we didn't get much trade-in on the Defender.

The 'Compass' cars were the Orienteer Pack IIRC.
Feb '91 is when the Disco first appeared at JRA (I was a 2nd yr app). All the original press cars had RRX### number plates & the MD took one home the first night with the Land Rover badges taped up.

Until a couple of years ago there used to be a blue 3 door Disco driving around Warrnambool that had the "compass" decals on it. LRT

Found a picture of the Orienteer pack (at the rear):
It's hard to find much information on - it can't have lasted long.
From memory, the Orienteer came out after a few months of the launch of the Disco here. I can only assume that LR thought potential buyers were holding back until the release of the 5 door model with the 92MY & tried to jazz up the 3 door version.
If that was the case, your ad would make sense with the standard 5 door alongside a fancy 3 door.
I actually have what appears to be an incomplete set of new Compass decals. There's some damage to one decal but if there's someone here who has an Orienteer & will use them, send me a PM.

I thought the wheels on the 3 door were a late model thing, learn something new everyday

A '91 Orienteer has popped up on Gumtree. I'll post the pics for posterity; it looks fairly original.

The ad says it is one of 75, anyone know how true that is?
