Description
This is an excellent example of a high-mileage Classic Land Rover Range Rover L322 in "Tonga Green" paired with a tan/ sand-coloured leather interior, described by Jeremy Clarkson "the best car ever made".

Driven daily with 12000 miles covered in the last year. I've listed the inevitable snags below. It has been our daily car for the last year and hasn't let us down. We're doing more short journeys now (school run) so need to swap for smaller car. Has performed really well in all conditions and kept us on the road during the snow and ice of last winter. Comes with 12 months MOT. Serviced by Land Rover specialist less than 10 months ago with 1200 of brand new Pirelli tyres fitted, gear box flush, professionally valeted with air conditioning filters replaced and blowing hot and cold. Comprehensive HPI checks done and all clear. The interior leather and headlining is excellent. Tow bar fitted two years ago (we've only used for bike rack).
Please note:
Chassis excellent for age (was kept in Spain for many years). Some superficial surface corrosion but no welding or structural weakness.
The A/ V entertainment system (DVD, CD, radio, Nav etc) switched itself for a week in February bizarrely but has been fine since then.
Cooling system sensor sensitive and warning light comes on after ignition despite no problem with coolant system. The screen wash reservoir leaks.
The paint on both rear wheel arches and a small patch on tailgate has just started to bubble but can still be touched up with paint pen (see pics). There are a handful of minor scuffs most of which will polish out.
EGR valve became a bit sticky four months ago after a week of short journeys. This cleared after a 30 min run on the motorway. Gearbox shuddered a bit between 30-40mph uphill but resolved after transmission was flushed. Still shuddered momentarily on occasions but only on very steep hills in low gear. Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint replaced. Great fun to drive on and off road. Superb carrying capacity and road position. Cruises really well on long journeys. Great condition for its age and excellent tyres.
