Wow!
That looks an awesome car! Enjoy!
I’ve not owned an L322 or even driven one, but I agree it somehow has a more “substantial” weighty look compared to the L405, which is a lighter, mor ... |

Collection Update.
Myself and SWMBO met the seller at his rather lovely place in Hampshire. I cannot say exactly who he is but turns out he is a well respected figure in the sports and classic worl ... |

Over on Defender.net a few folks had this - https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/ardcase-pedal-lock
Many went for quick release steering wheel. No airbag on Landy’s until recent model.
Also good ... |

You are all very kind with your comments.
I loved the Defender. Every journey was an event. There is something called the Landy “wave” when owners pass another.
TBH - in the Cotswolds you get ... |

Thank you@mjd and mutley (for the tip off) plus the brilliant feedback from ‘322 & ‘405 owners = very helpful.
Btw - I am amazed how fresh it is. The interior is honestly like a new car. Wi ... |

Enough suspense I think… 
I used all your wisdom with this purchase. Buy the best you can, look at condition, service history, follow the advice in the Buyers Guides. And go for a drive to be ... |

Obviously a L322 
You guys are too good.
Okay, so I looked at, but did not purchase this one… Fab interior but a tad too much bling for me. SC V8 that sounded like thunder - in a good way!

Firstly, to all who gave your kind advice, a big Thank-you.
And a “finders fee” to AnotherMutley. 
A very long day, with lots of miles covered, a gaggle of L322s & L405s.
Why have ... |

As much as I love a L322, I couldn’t see myself going back to one from the L405 either but mainly because I spent 6 months looking for a good L322 and never found one 
Towing for sure when I f ... |

I went from a 110 TD5 SW to my L322 5.0 S/C as a condition of marriage 5 years ago, much as I had always planned to keep the 110!
For me it had to be a petrol because of London's ULEZ, but personal ... |

Having had both, definitely agree with the comments on here. I'm looking to go back to a low mileage L322, yes the L405 is a nicer car but for me the L322 was the last of the true Range Rovers.
OP, h ... |

| Personally, £28,950 is a bit steep for an L322. You can a good number of L405's for your budget. I would suggest you go for a Vogue SE or Autobiography 4.4 SDV8. You can go for the V6 (as have many o ... |
