2010 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 (L322)

Highlights

  • A great looking example of this highly specified L322, seemingly having covered its miles well
  • Complete with a full-service history and a current advisory free MOT
  • Has benefitted from additional, high value preventative maintenance in 2021

The Appeal

Unlike its boxy and somewhat under developed P38 predecessor the L322 benefitted from development during BMW ownership and production under Ford oversight. The majority agreed that it was a welcome return to form for the mould-breaking Range Rover. It certainly upped the ante over the outdated underpinnings of its predecessor too. V8 power, six speed automatic transmissions, unibody construction and dynamic air suspension were all common across the range. A new, Range Rover specific diesel V8 power unit was also offered and is present in this example.

This Range Rover is a high specification Vogue SE model so is sumptuously trimmed and generously equipped even by Range Rover standards. This example has covered its miles in a linear fashion and has received annual servicing throughout its history. Additionally it has benefitted from significant and high value preventative maintenance in recent times. An example that wears its age and mileage very lightly, it appears.

  • Developed under BMW, the materials, fit and finish are sublime
  • Our car’s cabin is clothed in “Jet” black perforated and stitched leather
  • Upholstery inserts are finished in “Grand Black” lacquer

The Exterior

  • Our car is finished in Santorini Black Metallic paint work

  • The bodywork is generally very good too
  • There are a few age-related small dings and imperfections which are pictured

The Mechanics

  • This is a powerful unit originally rated at 271bhp and 420 lb-ft of torque

  • This example has clearly been well maintained throughout its history
  • This includes a recent gearbox rebuild and full brake service
  • The under bonnet presentation is generally good, too, suggesting careful ownership
  • The underside of the car is appropriate to its age and could be improved with further attention
  • A towbar mounting and associated electrics are fitted here
  • No mechanical issues were reported with everything understood to be working as it should

Summary

The L322 Range Rover was a triumph, no doubt emphasised by its less convincing predecessor. This was the Range Rover that significantly moved the brand upmarket and doubled down on its desirability as a limousine alternative that could tackle a muddy track with ease. It looked stylish too and was fitted with, for the first time, class leading technology and equipment.

Given that this car was probably well over £70,000 in 2010, this example should offer its lucky new owner astounding value for money. It appears to be a very honest example which has covered its miles very well and has clearly been well maintained and cared for. A vehicle that offers such a breadth of capability and such a depth of specification at such an attainable price is hard to imagine.

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.
