Description

An SVR that shows what happens when performance, provenance and proper ownership align SVR by The Vertex Collection Full Land Rover main dealer history, correct specification, outstanding condition, and now sitting on four brand new Hankook tyres, this is an SVR that has been owned properly, maintained properly, and still delivers the experience that made these cars legends in the first place. OVERVIEW Some cars impress you on paper. Others earn respect the moment you spend real time with them. This Range Rover Sport SVR falls firmly into the second category, and after driving it myself, I can say with confidence that this is one of the nicest, most correctly kept SVRs I have come across in a long time. SVRs are not rare. Proper ones absolutely are. Many examples have been driven hard, modified without thought, or maintained reactively rather than correctly. This one feels different immediately. From the way it starts, to the way it idles, to the way it moves down the road, everything about this car feels tight, settled, and genuinely well cared for. The more time you spend with it, the more obvious that becomes. Finished in Estoril Blue, the condition sets the tone straight away. This is a colour that shows everything, and on this example it highlights just how straight and honest the bodywork really is. The paintwork has excellent depth and clarity across every panel, with crisp reflections and no signs of neglect. It presents as a car that has been stored properly, cleaned properly, and respected throughout its life. The stance is exactly as it should be, muscular, planted, and purposeful. It sits on fixed side steps, which add practicality without spoiling the SVR look, and it is now fitted with four brand new matching Hankook tyres, a detail that immediately tells you this is not a car being passed on needing attention. Braking performance is strong and confidence inspiring, further reinforcing how well this example has been kept. Inside, it is exactly what you hope to find. The SVR performance seats remain firm and supportive, with clean bolsters and leather that still feels tight and well held. There is no sagging, no excessive shine, and no tired surfaces. Carbon fibre interior trim adds the right amount of drama, and the cabin feels solid, composed, and quietly special. High value features such as head up display, soft close doors, and four zone climate control underline that this was a carefully specified car from new. Then there is the drive. I have personally driven this SVR, and it drives superbly. The 5.0 supercharged V8 delivers effortless performance with real character. Crucially, this is the proper sounding SVR. Free breathing, raw, and full of presence, not muted like later cars fitted with additional filters. It sounds exactly as an SVR should, deep, aggressive, and unmistakable. Throttle response is immediate, the gearbox is sharp and intuitive, and the chassis feels planted and contro
