It's definitely a lot of car. It's also a lot of money.
Almost the same spec apart from not LWB, 2 years older, and nearly half the price. That's more my level.

However ! For a Range Rover with more LWB, for less money, this is being auctioned next week. Check out what the state of the art was for in-car entertainment at the time.

I'd be mortified if that showed up as my ride.
I think it's great! Like a perfect snapshot of luxury in 1994!
To your funeral, I agree. As I think Alex was alluding to 😄

Chapeau for that excellent wordplay.

It's not full jobbo (never go full jobbo, at least not with your own money), but how do we feel about the reddish brown dash top & carpet ?

I don’t think I could do that gen of RR until it’s a bit less desirable to the sticky fingered.

I’ve said before but my ideal RR would be a late V8 L322 visually backdated to take all the tacky shiny bits off.

Nice.

Suits the car and compliments the leather colour.
Cheers,

Works, suits the tone I think with that more chocolately colour. I'm not sure I like the shiny wood though if I am honest.

Also, re the colour of the leather, I had an ivory interiored jag and never any issues. I actually much prefer a lighter interior as it gives the car a more airy feel.

I like light colours on big luxury cars to increase the airiness, and black on small sports cars to reduce distractions.

The Leg uses his old money RR to go to the stately manor of correctness while wearing a paisley waistcoat and finely crafted brogues for tea and biscuits with the lady of the house.

L322 was peak RR for a modern world.

I imagine you will dismiss any input from me anyway, but I don't think there are any bad colour combos in a Range Rover. Even the slightly more extravagant ones like that are tasteful shades. I love it anyway, as you'd imagine.

8-) but needs the steering wheel in the same colour - not that any of that really matters though because Leicester.

My lean to the L405 is for a pretty minor reason - a lot of them have a nice factory-fitted retractable tow bar. I don’t think it was ever an option on the L322 and the standard removable one looks clunky.

Beautiful colour
I'm not usually the greatest fan of red paint, but that looks great. Funky seats too. And great to see that it has a healthy 84k-odd miles on it too - so you can still drive it! 8-)

Not a colour I usually like either, but looks cool.
