The Appeal
Many would argue that the L322 is still the best Range Rover of the 21st century. Under BMW’s custodianship, Land Rover learnt from the shortfalls of the similarly ambitious, yet rushed and underfunded P38, ensuring instead that its replacement was properly tested before entering full-scale production. Motoring royalty Jeremy Clarkson and Harry Metcalfe both continue to sport L322s - praise indeed for the enduring appeal of this fantastic off-roader.
For us, this 2005 example ticks all the right boxes. It boasts Jaguar’s superb 4.2-litre supercharged V8, a high factory ‘Vogue’ specification and excellent service history. There are numerous book stamps and accompanying invoices from Land Rover main dealers and the current MOT is devoid of advisories.
The vendor acquired this Range Rover in 2017 and has continued to maintain it in the style to which it was accustomed. For those seeking a well-preserved example, this one comes highly recommended.
