A walkaround tour of our Range Rover L322 TDV8.
The Land Rover Range Rover was launched in 1970 by British Leyland. The first-generation Range Rover (also known as the Range Rover “Classic” or "Suffix-A") was produced between 1969 and 1996, and was not initially devised as a luxury 4×4. While certainly up-market in comparison to the preceding Land Rover models, the early Suffix-A Range Rovers were merely utility 4×4 vehicles, designed to be washed down with a hose – both inside and out – after desired use.
The third-generation Range Rover (L322) was produced between 2002 and 2012, and saw the model move further up-market. Planned and developed under BMW stewardship, the third-generation initially shared engines and electrical systems with the BMW 7 Series. In 2005, the first exterior face-lift was applied and a new engine line-up was revealed, replacing the mediocre engines and components derived from BMW – a move widely praised by critics. This saw the introduction of the acclaimed Ford Lion 3.6 litre V8 turbodiesel engine (272bhp through a six-speed automatic transmission), arguably the most refined turbodiesel engine of the ongoing Range Rover range.
First registered on 5th March 2007, this excellent Range Rover TDV8 Vogue boasts 83,000 warranted miles from new under single ownership. Finished in Buckingham Blue with plush parchment leather interior and specification features to include two-piece tailgate, electric sunroof, 20” alloy wheels, ‘access mode’ air suspension, adaptive xenon headlights, electro chromatic mirrors, parking sensors and heated and cooled seats all round.
A superb example – very well maintained and serviced every year by Land Rover or Land Rover specialists. Recently serviced by Tim Fry Land Rovers (Cheltenham) and MoT’d until 5th November 2021. Supplied with two keys, a full-size spare wheel, owner’s manuals, full service history and a folder of MoT certificates and sundry receipts.
