My ideal would be a 4.4 TDV8 as mentioned but I'm open to any specification. Truth be told my last range rover was Vogue spec and had everything I needed, and I dont really know the full details of the last spec L322's I'd prefer either grey or black I think. I'm more concerned about maintenance and how well it's been looked after I dont want to spend over the odds as I still have another car to fund, I'd like to buy one of these with the intention of a second car to keep for years |

Agree on the maintenance. I've spent a wack on mine getting it "right". You can see the evidence from my list. https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic44115...p;start=75 It even included a new secondary turbo. If I was doing this again then I'd get any candidate cars up on a ramp, remove engine undershield and check it's 100% bone dry. The 4.4 can weep from a few places - and I had them all! Oil cooler, oil pump and turbo! I'm half considering moving mine on as I think I'll be WFH more in the future so could live with just one Range Rover - I have a 1993 Classic 200Tdi  
Good luck with the search! I'm video chatting to Ben in Hampshire later to give him a walk around tour of mine 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
New Defender D300 90 on order so "Rory" will be going to a new home....! 1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie" My preferred specialist: www.glenrands.co.uk -------------------------------------------------- |

My BMW is a 318d touring, it handles well, don't ge me wrong but it is just.....boring. The only one of the forum that I found so far is Davelyn's 3.6 - https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic48815.html - we've spoken on the phone and it is top of the list to go and look at, followed by the 4.4 in Portsmouth. All the rest that have fitted my search options (3 or less owners, 80,000 to 125,000 miles, full documented history, owners who know what they are talking about etc) have been dealers. The only one from a dealer I have spoken with is this one - https://www.sbautomotive.co.uk/used-cars/l...4167027813 There are a few bits needed on that one that I have seen just from the videos I've been sent and also from the MOT history checker - chipped screen, minor rust on the rear wheel arches, the brake lines have been corroded badly in the past and it has a tow bar so maybe its been a boat hauler or just suffered from winter salt etc. I'm also not sure about the Ipanema Sand and Arabica interior on this one. The only thing that is stopping me going to see any of them is the Covid situation. Once it all calms down I'll start viewing. I've not ever driven one either, all this has come up because a mate has let me use his RR Sport and I'm hooked. I'd have a Sport but then realised you may as well have a Fattie if you're spending that sort of money! |

I'd be so much more inclined to buy off a forum member. I think it's much easier for anyone to offload a car with problems or potential problems to a dealer. I think theres less likelihood of that happening on a private sale. I'm just always suspicious really!

No affiliation to me on this. I traded it at Beadles LR in Watford.
