The Appeal

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.
