2008 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Santorini Black

After saving up for a long time, and much second guessing,,

I finally picked up my first Range Rover. I've always admired these beasts, ever since the gloriously chunky P38. I happened to be working with a chap who owned a 53 plate Vogue and i was taken by how nice it was every time I saw him arrive in it. I decided I'd worked rather hard this last year and that I maybe deserved a treat. So here she is.

'58 plate Santorini black, 3.6 TD V8 Vogue SE, with Ebony interior. A mere 68,300 miles on the clock.

I was so happy driving her home I almost cried.

Cheers Stan!

I've given her two coats of polish since i took those photos, she has a few rough edges but over all the paint has really responded well. Next step is a full drivetrain fluid service I think, and possibly a new OS Rear cluster (mine has slight misting due to a crack on the edge letting damp in). Other than that, touch wood, she's in fine fettle.

Looks very tidy.

Difficult to think what you could replace it with, it’s that competent.
