Article: Range Rover TDV8 | Shed of the Week
Article also: The 2007-on 4.4 litre TDV8 was leagues better in this regard but it’s a sure bet that you won’t find an MOT’d one of them for £1,690.
And the TDV8 in 2007 was a 3.6l unit. It was only 4.4l from 2011MY onwards. Article also: The 2007-on 4.4 litre TDV8 was leagues better in this regard but it’s a sure bet that you won’t find an MOT’d one of them for £1,690.
Maybe, just maybe, the stripes were by an owner who had a sense of humour? Not necessarily an indicator of maintenance levels, it is after all possible to have a stripey car and still get it serviced...
Obviously I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole, regardless. Because I'm not insane. Although if I needed something to do low mileage in for 6 months before it went to the scrapyard, I might be tempted for a bit of a laugh. It'll only cost money if you soend money, otherwise maximum loss is the purchase price. Maybe I am insane.

Long time landrover fan and admirer of the L322 but this one looks like a money pit. The Martini stickers are a bizarre addition that I can't see appealing to many. The instant alarm bells however are the tasteful addition of "chrome" door handles and side vents, any car with embellishments like that is an instant no from me.
Probably been to LM?Winston Churchill’s reputed reply to 1920s socialite Viscountess Nancy Astor after she had accused him of being drunk. “Yes madam, I am drunk,” he said, “and you are ugly, but tomorrow I will be sober.”
I think you might have the wrong butt of Winston's wit - https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/churchil...
Bessie Braddock MP was the usually reported other party
Nancy Astor was a regular foil/victim/belligerent - https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-h...
"The famous exchange between them, during a weekend at Blenheim Palace, is apparently not apocryphal, as we had previously believed: “Winston, if I were married to you I’d put poison in your coffee”… “Nancy, if I were married to you I’d drink it.”"

the stripes are a distraction and sets off the 'what type of owner would that be?' concerns but in the pics it looks fairly good nic
And this is the key to finding great value sheds - look at the ones that everyone else has discounted because of something that's either not as bad as it seems or something that, at this price point, is completely irrelevant.All the boy racer mates I had when I was 17 looked after their saxo's a lot better than my gran looked after her fiesta (especially the clutch), but used car buyers still go weak in the knees for that "one mature lady owner" car, and ignore the one that's had £5k spent on speakers and wheels and treated as pride and joy.

That’s because gran doesn’t typically go over hump back bridges at warp speed or do handbrake turns in maccy Ds car park.

As for the rangerover, a standard, non molested one would give me the fear of bork. Heck a new one would give me the fear.
This one? Not with someone else’s barge pole.
Not shed territory, but only4 figures…
I’m still mad for not buying this beauty (4.4 BMW V8) 3 years ago. It was gone the next day…..
I saw it within the hour of the ad getting live, but stupidly didn’t phone the seller immediately. The next day, it was sold and picked up already
ETA: just sold my RRC today
I bought a Classic because, I couldn’t find a good L322
