Description
Purchased as a stopgap in the summer to keep me mobile after the sale of my E38 740i and also to keep me entertained tidying it up a bit. It’s been absolutely brilliant but now it’s time to move on to something a bit more long term despite my wife absolutely loving it!
My expectations were low but it’s been bulletproof! I’ve done around 2k miles in it all over the country. It can be left for weeks and starts first time, the V8 is happy to sit in traffic on hot days and makes wonderful noises. The Harmon Kardon sound system is fully functioning and sounds absolutely banging and the ride on air is wonderful.
This was my first Range Rover, it will not be my last.

Whilst I’ve not owned this long I’ve spent substantial money to get it to what I am happy to drive around in.
Overall I’ve spent over £4k on maintenance. The rear section of the exhaust has also been replaced prior to my ownership and also the battery was replaced before I bought it.
It’s no major hardship for me to keep it, but I have an itch for something else, may PX or swap for something interesting (S8, M3, RS6, R32….)
Like any old car, it’s not perfect so please expect marks and stone chips on the body. The air con is not working as it needs a new condenser, this has the book symbol on but the heat distribution via blend motors seems to work fine.
All in all a lovely looking sounding and driving classic Range Rover that is very reliable and relatively low miles. Happy to answer questions for genuine buyers and take you on an extended drive to demonstrate how lovely this car is.
