Description
For sale is my enthusiast-owned 2005 Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged Autobiography back on original plate BL05KXU. I purchased it in July 2022 and has been a solid family car including long trips to Cornwall and across the country. This car has had all the important work done listed below making it a reliable and strong example for the next owner.
Rare genuine Autobiography spec, with super rare two tone leather and alcantara seats (heated front and rear) - a special order Autobiography package. The factory stereo has also been updated by myself allowing Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection, bringing the media system up to date, whilst also keeping originality/OEM features- all original features can still be viewed at a press of a button.
Original DVD player and rear screens operating as they should with original headphones.
2005 model so lower tax bracket and more importantly ULEZ free.
