The Appeal
The L322 Range Rover was a major step change for the firm, a clean sheet design that added advanced technology and a significant shift upmarket to the model’s compelling sales pitch. It was a huge success.
Latterly this model has been receiving growing interest, not least from Harry Metcalfe and Jeremy Clarkson who recently waxed lyrical about their L322s on YouTube.
There were a huge range of models available, topped by the tyre-smoking supercharged 5litre version. Trim levels topped out at the luxurious Autobiography but buyers could continue their bespoking journey with renowned specialists like Overfinch.
This 2010 L322 is all of those things - biggest engine, top specification and then gently fluttered over by Overfinch to make it truly individual. A very low mileage example with long MOT in remarkable timewarp condition, it is a rare opportunity to discover Range Rover’s go-anywhere super SUV.
