Rightly or wrongly, I just could not stop staring at this. So much so, that I have put down a deposit and travelling the length of the country to pick up Friday...wish me luck!

No parrots are due.Sorry, I should be a better typist, as well as read what I have typed before submitting a post - I meant to type 17 days, which is little more than 100 miles a day which I used to sometimes do on a 50cc mobylette.
2,000 miles in 17 days cannot be a lot of time behind the wheel - Unless it was spent mainly at 20mph in Wales.

I've done long trips with few stops, but that's just driving to somewhere that most people would fly to. The stops along the way are good, but they're more born of necessity and opportunity than the purpose of the trip.
A road-trip like that with a lot of stops sounds like a more pure definition of a road-trip. On it for the journey, not to reach a destination.
I reckon this will stay in thread budget, just before the high tax registered early March 06.

A few red flags, wonder if he's discovered something terminal.
MOT history is actually fairly good, just handbrake and then one year when the brakes needed doing. Recent long lay up.

The pre facelift may not be ULEZ compliant being Euro3. It also possesses the gearbox of low repute. Maserati Quattroporte

I do like this feature, which I've not seen depicted previously.
Extendable cocaine tables!

Amazing. I thought it looked a great spec. Take a good look around the front of the engine for signs of weep from the water pump - it's not a hard or expensive job but it could be a negotiating point. Look around generally for signs of ropey looking hoses etc, be very careful around the hard line because if they're original they may break if you put any pressure on them. Also listen for marbles in a jar at idle that signify the supercharger coupler needs love.
Can't help with L405 specific things, but that engine is pretty robust although they sound awful with the bonnet up and SUPER awful on a hot restart until you drive off.
Test absolutely every piece of electrical gear, front and rear. Make sure the heated and cooled seats blow their respective temperatures. Heated wheel works.
Infotainment is quite slow but very usable. Sat-nav is fairly capable but the maps are out of date at ~2019-ish iirc.
Check the towbar deploys without complaint, they often seize up from not being used.
Put it in full height mode and have a look at the heat shields over the fuel tanks to see if they're starting to rot, not a huge job but something you don't want trying to escape at the wrong moment.
And congrats, nice car.
And this chap https://www.rrrsuk.com/ featured in a later video seems to be making a bit of a living fixing them if you don't fancy DIY

Now picking up Saturday morning. Be a great drive home from Essex to the Angus hills.

For anyone interested, I documented the trip contemporaneously on my RC thread.
Thanks, somehow I missed that.We do have a motoring item in common - I also have a keyring from Jacksons of (Holes Bay Road) in Poole. Though mine came from an S202, which has long since gone in a pile of rust and failed electrics.

I do love the L322 and I loved mine when I had it, but they like to rust and issues with the turbos on my 3.6 TDV8, but when working it was fabulous. The L405 in my opinion is a much better car and I do prefer the looks out of all the different models over the years personally. Very much peak Range Rover.

That's a great 3 car garage. I don't do a great deal of mileage and I have an XC70 for daily duties and an MX-5 ND so this will be tinkered and pampered. Now picking up Saturday morning. Be a great drive home from Essex to the Angus hills.
