Bought first Range Rover (2004 - 4.4 v8 petrol) in 2012, part ex it on 2007 Range Rover 4.2 SC in 2014 and added 2016 RRSVAB in 2022. Also have 2007 Discovery 3 V8 since new

After a long time pondering and searching I eventually bought a 2007 TdV8 coming up on four years ago and I absolutely love it. She had around 98000 on the clock with a full comprehensive history and I fell in love during the test drive. Comfort wise and value for money, these have to be one of the best motors out there and I intend to drive it for as long as it keeps going reliably and I can keep the tin worms at bay. Current collection :

2007 Vogue TDV8 Stornoway grey, black on black
1982 JCB Sitemaster (resto)
1970 MGB
BMW R1200GS

Bought mine 9 weeks ago, ULEZ forced me sell my 2006 l322 I owned for 6 yrs. Loved that motor now getting used to l405.

owned mine for two weeks

8 YEARS, and counting..

I've had my td6 since Sept 2010, and covered 83k miles.
It's not my daily driver since last year when a longer commute nearly trippled my annual mileage. I now use it on my days off and it still brings a smile to my face.

The majority of repairs I've done myself, the exception being the autobox.

Bought my first in November 2013, which was a 1999 P38 4.6 HSE, since then I've owned 5 others the longest being a 2004 M62 which I had from October/November 2019 till June 2022. I then bought another 2007 Supercharged in I think the July of 2022 which I still own. I can't believe its been almost a year already. I might try and move onto a 2011/12 TDV8 later this year depending on how house extensions go!

Had my fatty since April 21 and nearly £6k spent on it. Been thinking long and hard to change to a supercharged but for some reason I don't want to let it go. It's never broke down on me, money spent is getting it up to my standards plus maintenance costs and preventative measures. Done 25k in it so far. No other place I'd rather be in than the fatty.

odd ball 1/2 a double post

7 years , up at 136k miles now , been pretty trouble free but I do try and look after it (helps being in the trade), can't think of anything better as a tin tent tugger and dog transport and out long distance comfy fast weekend runabout , have to make do with a 23yr old 205k miles D2 as daily workhorse though .

I have owned my RR for 14 months now. My first RR but had Defenders since 2007 so very used to the Green Oval.

I bought it at 41k miles and 7 years old in immaculate condition and full MD service history. Now just about to roll over 51k miles.

Only problem so far was a leaking rear diff that was replaced under warranty.

2 years now. Only intended to keep it for a year but I'm too far down the rabbit hole now. Drives better than ever and at 165k miles there is no point selling it as it's worth so little. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Bought my first in January this year and it has been an utter pleasure. I cant see myself in anything else now. First time FFRR owner

Had my L322 Westminster for 2 years and 1 month. Currently 3 months into L405 ownership

Had a classic VM diesel for 1 year then a 300 TDI for 11 years and 250000 miles. Next came the P38 DSE
That was 17 years ago and it's still here and very much a trusty luxury workhorse. Latest addition is an L405 TDV6, 4 months now so still on probation.
Guess I must like them or I've got a weird sense of humor.
