Ten grand Range Rover

Ok, I know good LSE's are available at 5-8k but at that level you're into L322 money.
I've got a td5 90 and an ex-mod 110 can, thinking of flogging the 90 and getting something for a bit of 4x; wafting. So budget is really anywhere from 5-12k. Firmly great-LSE or slightly-shonky-L322 money!
Wife prefers the idea of the 322 which naturally veers me towards a classic...

I would probably go with the Classic, at least anything it costs you should be offset by the lack of depreciation, maybe even decent appreciation medium term. I think you need a larger initial budget than £10k for a good recent RR. My TDV8 has been very impressive but it's a 2008 car that cost quite a lot more than £10k. Maybe with £10k I would be looking at a Disco or ideally a Defender
I find the L322 very colour dependant. Black/silver is a bit townie... Dark blue, dark green or dark grey a bit less in-your-face and classier/more subtle.
And my god, some in the classifieds have the most foul interiors! Mint-green leather? Black bolsters with cream inserts?

Can't go far wrong with an L322, I had an '03 V8 Vogue in Epsom green with ivory leather and it was superb, classy colour combo and so nice to drive.
They seem to be holding their money quite well too, I sold mine almost 2 years back for around £10k and they still seem to command that now.
They're not hideously expensive to run either, yes the V8's are a bit thirsty but I found they were no more expensive than any other car for parts.

You've got to buy badly to get a shonky one at £12k. Got one for £6.5k a year ago. I've got a td5 90 and an ex-mod 110 can, thinking of flogging the 90 and getting something for a bit of 4x; wafting. So budget is really anywhere from 5-12k. Firmly great-LSE or slightly-shonky-L322 money!

LSEs are fetching that money and more but like most, good, old cars they will have had that and more spent to get them there.
A £10k 322 will be around 100k miles and may well need more ongoing maintenance as you are at the bottom of the market and getting alot for your money. Cheap to run they will not be.
An LSE would need very careful checking for rust and you'd want to see evidence of the work.
To actually use and drive I'm sure a 322 would easily show an LSE its heels but both would be comfortable and easy to drive.
Tough choice.
