Hi All,
My Range rover history should start with some entertainment.
In 1982 bought a 1973 classic 2 door, loved it, actually shot it (ricochet) and moved it on for a 1980 two door classic, which my then girlfriend (still wife) spent 6 weeks east coast of OZ, before I cut the roof off and painted flat matt black..... Police radar couldn't detect it I was told......
Next was1988 Classic, family was starting, followed by P38 I rolled near Devils Marbles (look it up.... doesn't get further from home) and another P38 that actually worked really well for years.
Then came the first L322.... then a second, then a third, a fourth and I'm still driving the fifth one I've owned....... Ok I hear you say ..... they are cheap second hand..... my dogs can jump on the leather in the back and I don't care, and I have a lot of spares in the two wrecks in the shed. I believe, as Jeremy Clarkson agrees, the L322 was "peak" Range Rover .... BMW V8, leather, all the luxury at minimal second-hand cost ..... if I took a new one where I go (my farm or Flinders Ranges goat shooting) I'd do $50k damage in a week.
Anyway, I currently have a 2004 L322 BMW V8 that works how I want it, and a 1993 Long Wheel Base Classic Soft Dash that I have had for 10 years and will get a full resto when I win Lotto.
My question is.... should/could I trade the LSE Classic for a half decent L322 that I can get 10 years out of. What financial implications would you see.
