The Appeal
With the Range Rover moving up to the super-luxury market in the early 2000s, Land Rover found itself with a gap in the market. It was a gap that was partially filled by the Discovery also becoming a bit posher, especially in its third generation with the Discovery 3, but there was still a gap there for those who liked the previous Range Rover but simply couldn’t afford the new one.
Enter the Sport. Introduced in late 2005, the new scaled-down Range Rover had the looks and charm of the Range Rover proper, but was smaller, lower and – critically – was based on the new semi-monocoque platform of the Discovery 3, making it quick and easy for Land Rover to develop.
It filled the gap between the Discovery and the Range Rover perfectly and very quickly became a popular model in its own right.
This Range Rover Sport was bought new in 2007 by its only owner who used it as both a business vehicle and the family car. During his ownership, the Range Rover was initially looked after by Chipperfield Range Rover in Hertfordshire, before passing into the care of a highly respected local 4x4 specialist who has maintained it ever since.
As it has been owned from new, the history of the Sport is known from Day One. It has covered 97,000 miles and has been regularly serviced, making it the ideal option for anyone looking for a classy and affordable luxury SUV.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
