The Appeal

The Vogue SE is the pinnacle of the L322 range. A spec fit for a Queen, one might say, and indeed this particular example carries provenance that elevates it far beyond any standard Range Rover. Supplied brand new via Land Rover Special Vehicles to HM Queen Elizabeth II under Contract No. 43086, this 3.6 TDV8 in Tonga Green is believed to be the only diesel-powered L322 delivered to Her Majesty, setting it apart from the gas-powered examples more commonly associated with the Royal fleet.
Its Royal heritage is confirmed by a Special Vehicles chassis tag and SVO contact reference, while the history file includes photographic evidence of HM Queen Elizabeth behind the wheel, believed to have been taken at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and Sandringham. The unique seat piping and interior trim visible in these photographs make identification unmistakable. An intriguing footnote: this vehicle was registered on the same day as Jeremy Clarkson's famous Range Rover, with chassis numbers just ten units apart and license plates differing by only two letters.
Beyond its remarkable provenance, this Range Rover has benefited from a thorough mechanical overhaul covering the turbochargers, major service items, braking system, and suspension components, with full details listed below. Four new Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires have been fitted, and the wheels have been refurbished. The vendor describes the bodywork as being in very good condition for its age, while the interior is said to be in good order, with the rear seats described as being in very good shape and the front seats showing usual leather creasing. Royal-specific modifications include a dog ornament on the hood, B-pillar grab handles, and a rear dog guard.

The Mechanics

  • 3.6-liter (3,600cc) TDV8 diesel engine
  • Six-speed automatic transmission
  • Both turbochargers replaced
  • Major service completed, including engine oil, oil filter, air filters, pollen filter, fuel filter, transmission oil and filter, and front and rear differential oils
Power comes from the 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged TDV8, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift. Since November 2025 it has had a thorough overhaul, with the engine removed so both turbochargers could be replaced. A major service followed, including fresh transmission and differential oils, with new brake pads, rotors, rear calipers, upper boomerang arms, a front air suspension strut, rear subframe bushings, a radiator and the accessory belt system. It now carries an advisory-free MOT through November 2027.
