2006 Range Rover Vogue

Finished in Zambezi Silver with black leather interior, this Range Rover Vogue is powered by the legendary, powerful and reliable V8 (from the BMW 5-series, amongst others). The car is in excellent condition throughout, having been well-maintained over its lifetime to date.

Being a Vogue, this example also comes ‘fully loaded’ with enough toys and gadgets to keep even the most technically-inclined driver entertained for a while, including Harman Kardon sound, television, DVD, CD, Bluetooth, radio and SatNav.

Whilst high-mileage for UK, many Australians or Americans would tell you this car is barely run in.

The service history (below) speaks for itself and this is a very solid example.

The A/C works very well indeed, so does the radio and the Sat/Nav. The vendor tells us the Bluetooth connection is sketchy and the TV reception appears to be on the blink too. We understand that it’s not uncommon for these things - which are related to the fibre-optics in the boot - to go wrong, but we’re told that they’re also fixable.

The reversing camera works, but the wire is loose and it sometimes doesn’t display on the screen.

There are heated seats and a heated steering wheel, all in good working order, that’ll you’ll appreciate in the depths of winter.

Zambezi silver is undoubtedly one of the best colour choices for the L322, and this example wears it with pride, still looking as fresh to this day as it did in 2006.

Looking along the flanks of the car, there are no signs of any impact damage, dents, dings, mis-matched paintwork or bad panel gaps that we could see, suggesting that this example has led an easy-going life.

Similarly, the paintwork is also in excellent shape. There is a little rust blister on the rear near side (below the passenger seat). The silver finish is good at hiding the usual smattering of stone chips or minor marks, presenting wonderfully overall. It appears to be all but devoid of any unsightly marks or signs or wear and tear.

From what we can see, all of the light lenses are free from damage, as are the various grilles, badges and trim inserts around the vehicle.

All four wheels are shod with matching Pirelli Scorpion factory-spec tyres that were fitted brand new less than 19 months ago.

Inside, the leather interior is in equally excellent condition, and is remarkably fresh throughout for a vehicle of this age.

The leather seats, in keeping with the rest of the vehicle’s condition, are in excellent condition. Speaking of the front seats, we also noticed some small scuffs to the plastic lower base surrounds, which is most prominent on the driver’s seat. The silver-grey paint is coming off some of the rear centre plastic trim.

There are Land Rover original fitted rubber mats front and rear.

The original ‘AdventureCam’ is still in position, as are the headphones for the rear-seat passengers to enjoy a movie without disturbing other passengers

Elsewhere, the door cards, centre console, steering wheel and carpets are all in good shape throughout, with only minimal wear in evidence on the switch gear and other ‘high-traffic’ areas.

The headlining is taut throughout and free from staining, and the sunroof is in good working order.

In the rear, the split tailgate works without issue, and the boot has a liner in it to prevent any heavy wear or staining, though we did note some marks and imperfections to the inner boot plastics.

During our test drive, we noted it drove very well with no bumps/rattles/knocks to speak of, but we thought we detected a slight delay in shifting from first to 2nd gear.

There’s a dog guard and gun racks fitted in the rear, so this should appeal to anyone with a penchant for country sports!

Starting with ease and firing into life with an authoritative roar before settling into a silky-smooth idle and low burble, the 4.4-litre BMW-sourced V8 engine at the head of this Range Rover Vogue appears to be in rude health, and behaved impeccably throughout our time with the vehicle. Even in hot weather, extended periods of idling do not trouble this big V8, and out on the road it performed with impressive gusto to the accompaniment of a throaty V8 soundtrack.

There’s a tow bar but no electrics. The vendor says the bar has been used to put the dog lead on whilst they unpack the boot, and nothing else (i.e. no trailer or horsebox towing).

Looking in the engine bay, the block and ancillaries present well, and the bay is honest and tidy overall.

The most recent service took place less than six months ago.

The Range Rover is a true staple and icon of the British automotive world, and the fact that the third-generation L322 remains an everyday sight on British roads is a testament to the quality and engineering integrity of the model.

With plentiful aftermarket and OE support, extensive knowledge bases and an endearing appeal, it’s no wonder that the L322 is as popular today as it was when launched.

This particular 2006-built Vogue presents impressively - outside, inside and underneath.

It bears all the hallmarks of a car that has been very well looked-after and diligently maintained throughout its comprehensively documented life.

We’re proud to offer this L322 for sale with NO RESERVE, and an estimate of £4,000 to £6,000.
