Is there a question?
Whether a 2007 RR TDV8 is likely to be ruinous!Private ownership?
To buy and sell?
Race?
Off road?
I'm guessing the first.... but lots of people do different things.
In terms of private ownership. This may all depend. How long do you plan to keep it for, what sort of use and distance, how hard are you on vehicles, do you plan to do any spannering or maintenance yourself, will you use independents, specialists or main dealer. Will you source parts yourself, will you use pattern parts or only OEM.

Yes private ownership as main "family car". Would probably also buy something small and cheap for commuting. So probably longer trips, but frequent use certainly. 10k p/a tops. Would certainly tackle maintenance, or use indy. OP, I can't directly answer your question but I recently sold my 2006 petrol L322. I owned it for 7 years and put around 65k miles on it. Outside routine servicing, and one set of tyres halfway through my ownership, it certainly cost me significantly less than £1000, and £500 of that was for the replacement of both front suspension airbags (one failed and I replaced both. £250 each for top-quality items and about 15 minutes per side to fit, which was ridiculously simple and which I did myself).
The sole reason I didn't buy another is because I've never owned, and never intend to own, a diesel-engined car, (particularly now), and within my car replacement budget and criteria there wasn't a petrol-engined FFRR available.

Overall unless you are unlucky, then no it shouldn't be.Some items can be a bit pricey, but if you are prepared to shop around and do some bits yourself or use a local garage/indi, then there is little reason why they should cost more to run than anything else of similar ilk.
Of course, you could always be unlucky and have loads of trouble. But that is also probably true of many other vehicles too.
With Land Rovers there is a huge parts supply and array of indi specialists across the country. Plus loads of used parts too if need be. This should make them fairly easy to run overall.
