2006 Range Rover 4.2-litre V8 Supercharged (L322) HSE

Highlights

• Flagship 4.2-litre supercharged V8 producing 400 bhp and HSE spce

• Professional BRC LPG conversion neatly integrated into the fuel flap

• Two-tone cream and dark blue perforated leather interior with wood veneer throughout

• Fresh brakes and suspension bushes fitted ahead of the most recent advisory-free MOT

• Some areas to address for the next owner

Overview

The L322 Range Rover pushed comfort and luxury to the fore while retaining the full spread of off-road ability expected of the nameplate. With permanent four-wheel drive across the range, generous cabin space and a presence that competed directly with luxury saloons like the Mercedes S-Class, it's no wonder the L322 has become beloved by so many for its dual-purpose ability. The 2006 model year brought Jaguar-derived engines, with the flagship powered by a supercharged 4.2-litre V8 developing 400 bhp and paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox.

This particular example has a professional BRC LPG system, with the filler neatly integrated into the existing fuel flap alongside the standard petrol cap and the regulator hardware tidily mounted in the engine bay. The vendor tells us the car starts on petrol and transitions seamlessly to LPG once warm, meaning the next owner gets the full supercharged V8 soundtrack and all 400 bhp on a substantially reduced fuel budget. Full petrol capability remains at all times. It's a thoughtful addition that genuinely unlocks this car for everyday enjoyment.

Spec-wise, it’s an HSE Supercharged finished in Blue with a striking two-tone cream and dark blue leather cabin complemented by wood veneer throughout. In current ownership since November 2024, it comes with an extensive history and a fresh MOT until April 2027 following new brakes and suspension bushes.

Cosmetically the car is honest for its age and has clearly been used and enjoyed. The panels are straight, the paint still shows good reflections from most angles, and the interior remains complete and tidy. Like any 20-year-old Range Rover there are a few areas that would benefit from attention, including an illuminated engine light, some visible patches of rust, and a missing cap from the rear of the passenger-side step. These make it a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working on these cars or wants a solid base to improve.

L322 Range Rovers continue to have a strong following, and this example offers an accessible way into supercharged V8 ownership for the right enthusiast.
