The Appeal
25 years after the Range Rover hit the market, the rather utilitarian image of the off-roader had changed innately. The car was rapidly going upmarket, with increasingly luxurious trims and ride quality being thrown into the mix. The biggest change for the new generation, of course, was that the air suspension had gone increasingly high tech, and now offered one of the ritziest ride qualities on the market.
It was undeniably impressive - and the ambitious design made Range Rover's ongoing trajectory clear - the Rangie was now a luxury SUV with the best of them, and had never been in more demand.
This particular example from 2002 stands out due to its unique provenance, having been purchased brand new by business magnate and television personality Lord Alan Sugar. With its comprehensive service history documenting regular maintenance throughout its life and plenty of paperwork proving its celebrity keeper, this is quite the stand out. Plus, it's been treated to the popular LPG conversion, so the gas-guzzling nature of the Rover V8 won't haunt you.
