The Appeal

The Vogue SE is the pinnacle of the L322 range. A spec fit for a Queen, one might say, and indeed this particular example carries provenance that elevates it far beyond any standard Range Rover. Supplied brand new via Land Rover Special Vehicles to HM Queen Elizabeth II under Contract No. 43086, this 3.6 TDV8 in Tonga Green is believed to be the only diesel-powered L322 delivered to Her Majesty, setting it apart from the petrol examples more commonly associated with the Royal fleet.

Its Royal heritage is confirmed by a Special Vehicles chassis tag and SVO contact reference, while the history file includes photographic evidence of HM Queen Elizabeth behind the wheel, believed to have been taken at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and Sandringham. The unique seat piping and interior trim visible in these photographs make identification unmistakable. An intriguing footnote: this vehicle was registered on the same day as Jeremy Clarkson's famous Range Rover, with chassis numbers just ten units apart and registrations differing by only two letters.

Beyond its remarkable provenance, this Range Rover has benefited from a thorough mechanical overhaul covering the turbochargers, major service items, braking system, and suspension components, with full details listed below. Four new Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tyres have been fitted, and the wheels have been refurbished. The vendor describes the bodywork as being in very good condition for its age, while the interior is said to be in good order, with the rear seats described as being in very good shape and the front seats showing the usual leather creasing. Royal-specific modifications include a dog ornament on the bonnet, B-pillar grab handles, and a rear dog guard.

Finished in Tonga Green over a Sand and Jet interior with Parchment accents, this Vogue SE is described by the vendor as being in very good condition for its age. The rear seats are in very good shape, while the front seats show the usual leather creasing. Royal touches include bespoke seat piping, a dog ornament on the bonnet, grab handle mounting points on the B-pillars and a factory dog guard.

The Mechanics

3.6-litre (3,600cc) TDV8 diesel engine
Six-speed automatic transmission
Both turbochargers replaced
Major service completed, including engine oil, oil filter, air filters, pollen filter, fuel filter, gearbox oil and filter, and front and rear differential oils

Power comes from the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged TDV8, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox with CommandShift. Since November 2025 it has had a thorough overhaul, with the engine removed so both turbochargers could be replaced. A major service followed, including fresh gearbox and differential oils, with new brake pads, discs and rear callipers, upper boomerang arms, a front air suspension strut, rear subframe bushes, a radiator and the auxiliary belt system. It now carries an advisory-free MOT to November 2027.
