Not too far off, just needs 6k spending on it to get to showroom fresh ;)

Although to my credit she looks shinier than the 11k one and has higher specification, note Autobiography Wood and leather wheel in mine ahem.. ;)

That sale was at an auction in March 2017.....

The points that Ant picks up , ICE, etc, are part of the reason I dont understand people 'upgrading' their L322. In a few years those are the same points that will be picked up by those looking for a half decent L322 and rejecting vehicles due to. In 4yrs the Golden Girl will be a 20yr old Range Rover, like it or lump it, she will be vintage and join the Range Rover heritage. The L322 is getting very close to where there will be people who want to preserve/renovate them.
I want to keep mine as close to original as possible. That way one of two things will happen, I will hang on to her as she ages and have one of the cleanest, original vehicles around. Or at some point I will put her up for sale and purists will want her, because she has been kept original, rather than rejecting her because of 'upgrades'.
She will most likely fade away into the background , with me ;)

My P38 first registered in March 2000 will become a "Classic" next year? Really?
19 years and <15,000 miles. Shame I have no garage to keep her in because she deserves it. I don't hanker for the "toys" that are on the later models at all. Far too much to go wrong. The P38 has enough "issues" of its own. Happily, dissolving from the chassis up isn't one of them :D. Unless they ban petrol cars completely, I think my modest 1,000 to 1,500 miles a year will be catered for for quite a long time to come.

With a rolling exception and a fixed duty on fuel for the next 10yrs i'd say we're all safe..

Atleast with 1.8 billion ICE cars on the road altogether i don't see them going away any time soon ;)

Plus LPG is getting a resurgence :D

I had LPG on the previous Rangie and the miles I did then warranted the use of LPG.
Not sure I can see the place for it on this one as the install costs are sky-high and I do <1500 miles a year so the payback period is just crazy bad.

Time the UK adopted the Euro ruling that a vehicle becomes officially a 'Classic' when it reaches 30 years of age from the date of manuf. & 'we' don't need to remain in the EU to do that.
nb: the fact that my RRC will be 32 years old in the spring has absolutely no bearing on my opinion ;)

Is it twenty years for Classic recognition? It's not something I've ever looked into, never had a car this old before :eek:
I'd certainly think 20yr old cars must be 'vintage'. A bit like 20 yr old vlothes are vintage :D

I think you are right. Car's can be "Classics" of their Marque and I think it is "stealers" that allude to a car being classic long before they achieve any real status.
But a car that still looks almost like it popped out of the showroom a few days ago even after 20 years of existence makes a motor somewhat special in the mind of the owner.
I imagine the 40 year No-Tax & No-MOT on my steed will be long after I am gone. But that's OK.
