The Appeal
The L322 is all the car you will surely ever need. Whether ploughing across fields or charging down to a luxury gite in the South of France, it is easy to see why owners buy them and hang onto them.
Including this one. It has had just three keepers in its 20 years. The current one has lavished it with care and attention, expending £11,000 with Land Rover main agents to ensure it is serviced irrespective of mileage and preventative maintenance work is tackled before it becomes an issue.
That is good news, of course, for the buyer. They get a very well-maintained example. All of which is before you consider the specification and condition. Finished in fetching Borrani Grey with a sand leather interior, this low mileage - under 70,000 miles from new - L322 is the luxury Vogue specification. Across the exterior and interior, including in particular the footwell and load area carpets, this BMW-engined 4.4L V8 Range Rover has clearly led a charmed life.
Regularly maintained by main dealers and local garages throughout its life - there are 11 service stamps - it arrives on the market with MOT to January 2025. This workhorse has been cared for and is ready for whatever road and lifestyle you choose to throw at it.
