THE APPEAL
When it came to 4x4 vehicles from the Land Rover range in the mid-90s, you could either go down the route of a rough and ready Defender or take the more luxurious route and opt for the wonderful Range Rover Vogue. The luxury four-wheel drive was the choice of businessmen and women who wanted something capable of being used around town or off to their country retreat at the weekend, and for this, the Range Rover Vogue was perfect.
This 1993 example has covered just over 120,000 miles and looks to be in very original condition. Although there are a couple of small chips here and there, the Range Rover looks like a very honest vehicle with an excellent history. Being in such good condition also suggests it has had a relatively easy life regarding off-road use.
