Chris Evans' family wagon could be yours: TV star and DJ to sell his trusty Land Rover to the highest bidder

While Evans is reportedly worth over £90m, his Land Rover won't be greatly adding to his bank account. The pre-sale estimate for the Discovery is £15,000 to £18,000.

As a father of five and grandfather to boot, TV presenter, radio DJ and self-confessed petrol head Chris Evans should know a thing or two about buying a family car.

And one trusty family motor that's been in his fleet for years will next month be offered to the highest bidder. 

Iconic Auctioneers has been entrusted to find the next owner of a 2004 Land Rover Discovery II that's coming directly from the broadcaster's garage.

It will be sold at the Supercar Fest on Saturday 16 May, with the lot winner succeeding the former Top Gear host as the registered keeper on its V5 document. 

While Evans is reportedly worth over £90million, his Land Rover won't be greatly adding to his bank account. 

The pre-sale estimate for the 22-year-old Disco is £15,000 to £18,000.

The auction house says the sale provides the 'opportunity to buy a well-specified modern classic with notable celebrity provenance having been used as a dependable family wagon by the Evans family'.

The 4x4 certainly represents a more understated side of celebrity ownership. 

Chosen for its practicality, seven-seat layout and comfort, it served as a reliable companion for day-to-day use among a broad and prestigious collection of modern supercars and classics that Evans has cultivated over the years.

Finished in Epsom Green Metallic with a Lightstone leather interior, the car was first registered on 25 March 2004. 

As a range-topping model, it features satellite navigation, a Harmon Kardon premium audio system, heated seats and wood trim. 

Powered by the respected TD5 diesel engine paired with a four-speed automatic gearbox, it offers both capability and comfort.

The car's odometer shows just under 67,000 miles as the car has been used extensively by Evans and his family over the years

And Evans has used it at will, with the odometer showing 62,743 miles.

It heads to the block with an advisory-free MOT valid until July 2026, along with its book pack and service record.

Arwel Richards, Car Specialist at Iconic Auctioneers, said: 'Understood to be family owned prior to Chris buying it, the Discovery was the perfect car for family outings thanks to its seven seats, luxurious interior, with a retro silhouette and relatively modern car yet boasting historic links to the original Range Rover. 

'Launched in 1989 as only the third model produced by Land Rover, the Discovery was based on the Range Rover, itself first produced in 1971. 

'By 2004 few ‘new’ cars could trace their lineage back 33 years.'
