I've been offered a 3.6 in an almost prefect spec for what seems like 'too good to be true' money but am holding off for now.![]()



So I now own a 3.6 TDV8 Vogue SE.
Picked it up Saturday - hasn't broken down YET

all the toys - heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel

Expect it will be financially ruinous to run, but hopefully enjoyable too.

Re: Range Rovers
What colour? It’s pretty important on RRs!
Re: Range Rovers
Twitter photo was of it being comprehensively snow-foamed but it looks to be a dark colour, so probably not a silver one.

Re: Range Rovers

Believe it's stornoway Grey, black leather interior. Piano black dash. For me it's THE color combo as I didn't want another black car.
Needs a few bits sorting, but it was commensurately priced so hopefully with a bit of dealing well be ahead.
Re: Range Rovers
That looks great. A cracking way to travel

You'll be fine.
With our Disco's we dropped the suspension to access mode every time we got out. Kept it exercised - never a suspension issue in 8yrs.
