The Appeal

This L322 proves that even after 22 years, a good example can still wow, especially when parked on a gravel drive. In the right color combination and well kept, these handsome 4x4s have a timeless appeal that works whether plowing through mud or arriving at a plush hotel.

With Metallic Black paint, Aspen Grey leather, Burr walnut accents, optional 20-inch alloy wheels, and heated rear seats, this 2004 4.4L V8 is nicely equipped and shows only 71,000 miles. But what really sets it apart is its mechanical condition. At 36,000 miles, the supplying dealer, Caffyns Land Rover, replaced the engine. The new unit has covered only about 33,000 miles since, and the seller reports it runs quietly, with none of the timing-chain rattle that can afflict these V8s.

In 2025, the seller invested close to £4,000 in preventative maintenance, including brakes, suspension, transmission servicing, and more. Crucially for any L322 buyer, the seller reports the bodywork is rust-free at the usual checkpoints: the rear wheel arches, rear quarter panels, and upper tailgate. The seller says he has rectified the minor advisories on the lengthy MOT. As an added bonus, it has just been serviced and is ULEZ compliant.
