2011 Range Rover Vogue SE

The example offered here was registered on the 31st October 2011, and is powered by the 4.4 litre Ford V8 diesel offering 313hp along with 700Nm of torque, which is mated to the 8-speed automatic transmission. Before the current owner, the car has had four former keepers. 

The trim level is Vogue SE, offering many features such as alloy wheels, leather seats, electronically adjustable front seats, electric sunroof, climate control, heated seats, metallic paint, and satellite navigation to name a few.

It’s finished in Gold (although pictures make it appear more of a silver colour) which is as stylish as it is timeless, making it a solid choice for a vehicle such as this. This is complimented by 20 inch alloy wheels, which are in superb condition, and are wrapped with high quality Pirelli Scorpion tyres, the rears of which were replaced in 2021 and the fronts in July 2023.

The current owner bought the Range Rover from Bonhams as a stop gap vehicle because the Porsche Taycan he’d ordered was delayed for six months and he needed something to get around in during the winter. He says it’s been a great car and he’s actually used it more than the Taycan, but with another car on the way (his dream Ferrari 456 manual) he’s simply run out of space.

The car comes with two keys as well as a towbar.

As you can see from the photos this is a brilliant looking example in great condition. The gold paintwork is classic and timeless in its design and looks to be in fine condition. The same can be said for the 20in alloys, which help to compliment a stylish package. The lights and the glassware appear to be undamaged and are free from any cracks or tarnishing.

The body shape is classic Range Rover, exuding a certain presence without being over the top or vulgar, and it’s a design we think has stood the test of time well. Despite being over a decade old, it doesn’t look dated. There is some slight stone chipping to the front, as well as a minor marks here and there, but it doesn’t detract from the overall condition of the car.

This example may be over a decade old, but it still offers more goodies than some new cars can muster in today’s market. The first thing to strike you is the wonderfully appointed black leather upholstery, which has stood the test of time well in both wear and also design. 

The front seats are heated, ventilated and offer electronic adjustment with a memory function for the driver’s seat. There are also armrests to add even more comfort for those longer journeys.

The interior may have a classic look, but this Range Rover was cutting edge at the time when it came to technology thanks to a digital instrument cluster which has only started becoming the norm in more mainstream cars in recent times. There is a touchscreen to accompany this which is situated in a centre console that is home to plenty of gadgets. 

The switchgear is in great condition and the vendor has stated all the electrics in the car work, although he says:

‘Please note that with the 12V / cigar lighters; if you touch the metal on the inside against another metal piece of the charging unit when inserting the charger it blows the fuse every time, so be careful when inserting a charger. I ended up leaving mine in there all the time. It’s like the old Operation game from Mattel’. 

The steering wheel does have some age related patina, but is free from serious wear and tear.

It’s not just the front seats that benefit from a heated function. The outer rear seats also feature this, and there is also climate control extending to the rear so those sat there can have a comfortable ambient temperature. Strictly speaking, though, these seats are actually the middle seats. 

As a rather unique feature, this model has two seats in the boot that fold out, making this Range Rover a seven-seater. When the seats are not in use they can be folded flat and sit flush in the boot floor.

This example is powered by the Ford-produced 4.4 litre V8 diesel, which offers 313hp along with 700Nm of torque. This power is fed to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic. The engine has been kept up to scratch and there is full service history to back that up. Its last service was carried out in November this year. The rear tyres have recently been replaced with high quality rubber and the car benefits from a new battery as well.

On top of this, in recent years an air spring has been replaced, the air con has been regassed recently and the brakes have just been completely overhauled. The current vendor has said the car has been left wanting for nothing, and anything the car has needed has been done. This should come as great news for the next owner who will be getting a good example that is ready to go.

The car comes with full service history and has a recent new MoT certificate following a complete brake overhaul. When the current owner bought it the vehicle was in good condition but only had a couple of months left on the MoT, so it was fully run through and areas such as some corrosion on the tailgate were attended to, we did note that the rear wiper, does not appear to work. 

The owner also fitted new tyres and the full list of work done appears in the documents section of this listing. The owner says:

‘I bought the Range Rover from Bonhams a little over a year ago and it’s been great. We’ve been down to Cornwall twice in it as a family, and I’ve used it as a daily when the weather has been miserable. In fact it’s so nice it convinced me to purchase the 5-litre Autobiography version as well (after selling a property I’m building a small collection of cars at the moment, much less profitable but much more fun).

‘According to Jay Emm, the L322 SE Vogue with an OV61 prefix on the registration is from the Royal household. I have no other evidence than this video, but it’s a fun fact – https://youtu.be/dqAAsy0Gczk?t=625’

For those looking for a timeless, stylish and comfortable way of getting about in what has become a British icon, you can’t do much better than a Range Rover. More specifically, this is a Range Rover with lots of equipment, full-service history, the flexibility of a seven-seat layout and is in superb condition both inside and out. We estimate that it will sell for £9,000-£13,000.
