Back in 2002, something rather important happened—Land Rover launched the L322 Range Rover. It was the birth of a legend: the first of the modern Range Rovers, designed when BMW still owned the company, which meant the Germans sorted out the oily bits and the Brits sorted out the leather, the wood, and the “King of the Road” presence. This one? It’s the 4.4-litre V8 Vogue—the full-fat version. And before we get carried away with nostalgia, let’s be clear: it’s not cheap to run. Fuel economy? Around 17 mpg on a good day. Insurance? You’re in Group 20+ territory—but come on, you’re buying a 4.4-litre V8 Range Rover, not a Prius. ULEZ? Sadly, no. Being a Euro 3 petrol, the powers-that-be in London will want their pound of flesh if you take it past the congestion cameras. But here’s the thing—you won’t care. You’ll be too busy wafting about in armchair comfort, watching lesser mortals bounce around in hatchbacks. Now, the important bit for collectors—these L322s are going up in value. The market’s waking up to the fact that this was the first of the “modern” Range Rovers—luxury car inside, serious 4x4 underneath. And finding a genuinely low-mileage example with a strong service record like this one is rarer than a politician who tells the truth. Service intervals? This car has been properly pampered, with records at 16,310, 29,202, 45,168, 53,954, 60,048, 65,935, 79,352 miles, and to sweeten the deal, we’ll service it again before it leaves us—so you can start your ownership with a clean mechanical slate. Spec? All the trimmings: leather seats you could fall asleep in, dual-zone climate, a proper high driving position, and the ability to cross a field as comfortably as it crosses a motorway. This is the Range Rover that made everybody want a Range Rover. If you’ve ever wanted to own a piece of motoring history before prices climb even higher, this is your moment.
