The Appeal
To many, it is the definitive Range Rover. The L322 has aged so gracefully that it has been elevated to modern classic status, and well-specced examples such as this 2005 Vogue are becoming highly sought after.
As a 2005 model year car, our L322 features the Jaguar-derived 4.4-litre AJV8, replacing the ageing M62 BMW engine of earlier models. It offers smooth power delivery with a level of refinement and presence that few rivals can match, and, best of all, it's ULEZ-compliant.

The car is accompanied by maintenance records stretching back to 2012, covering the vehicle's life from 68,507 miles through to its current 141,041 miles. The paperwork reveals consistent, proactive upkeep across mechanical, electrical, and suspension components, with genuine parts used where appropriate.
In the hands of its current owner for over five years, the Range Rover has been used as a second car for family duties, including multiple trips to Cornwall, the South of France, and the Alps. Specialist workshops have attended to the vehicle throughout the documented period, and the car holds a current MOT.
For those seeking an L322 with a transparent and traceable maintenance trail and a long MOT, this Vogue is well worth a closer look.
The vendor says:
"I bought the car in Covid as a second car to transport four growing children and their bikes, camping gear, etc. It was supposed to be a short-term thing, but it ended up staying with us for over five years. It is cavernous and THE most comfortable car to spend long journeys in. It has been up and down to Cornwall, the South of France and the Alps for ski-trips on multiple occasions without any issues. It will be missed, but with seven cars in the family, I have caved in to pressure to part with it. There are some cars that are just, if you know, you know. This is that car. The original number plate SD55 WLC will be transferred back to the car before the sale."
