Wow those prices are strong, I thought it was just over here that RR of this era were held at a premium. Thinking of selling our full fat 5.0 S/C and am being advised to ask €18-20k, I only paid £19k for it back in 2017 and since then we have put 40k miles on it.So, I have spent the last two days in a TDV8 L322 Autobiography in northern Italy and I have fallen in love with it.
I'm also moving to the (British) countryside and, to be honest, the only other 'semi-daily' I had in mind, a QP GTS 4.7, is getting to the age where it living outside overnight would be unwise. I also can't get three greyhounds in the back of one.
Since the question was last asked (it's a 35-page thread), who do you suggest for PPIs, and what are the general thoughts on the below?

Well the TDV8 is the best engine with one eye on frugality. 35mpg possible! Hence the demandWow those prices are strong, I thought it was just over here that RR of this era were held at a premium.

35mpg is man maths! Driven like Miss Daisy I could nudge 30. I live in the country and over 70k miles I typically got 25-28mpg. It is a great engine in a great car if you get a good one. Mine was faultless but I sold it at 85k miles as I became nervous! I think, like all LR products, get a good one and it is great, get a bad one and they are a nightmare. Russian roulette......Well the TDV8 is the best engine with one eye on frugality. 35mpg possible! Hence the demand
These ones are also last of the line special editions that aren’t black or white, so fairly scarce
PPI id be doing myself, but otherwise any of the local to the car specialists, which are 10 to the penny.So, I have spent the last two days in a TDV8 L322 Autobiography in northern Italy and I have fallen in love with it.

Green one is winning on the exterior, interior’s boring though.Well, they all look peachy to me Nayf. Nice dilemma to have. Personal opinion - the green one is the most timeless/classic. Which is probably why its the most expensive. And it'll look good next to the Cup.
Fabulous car - happy hunting!
Second that the blue looks sheer class for me but I'm a petrol fan far less running issues especially if you get caught on short journeys.Green one is winning on the exterior, interior’s boring though.

The early 5.0 SC cars had timing chain issues , later resolved so I read somewhere , but compared to the issues the diesels have they're a much better bet reliability wise especially for short journeys, the way things are going regarding LR insurance, diesels and ULEZ zones I wouldn't put that much money in a L322 diesel, they're definitely chancing their arm at those prices, there's going to be a drop in the market over the next 12 months as post pandemic prices start to fall and big cars will take the biggest hit in the coming recession.The nature of my semi daily is I work from home 75-95 per cent of the time, but when I do work away it’s usually photoshoots many miles away.
Supercharged v8 would be fun though, and they appear to come in more interesting colours…
If you have to go for one the three blue ones, I’d have the one from the Vogue centre. It looks the nicest to me, has the darkened rear windows (which to my eyes help the shape of the car) and comes from a garage that know to what look for and could sort any early niggles or warranty claims.Green one is winning on the exterior, interior’s boring though.

Just turn off keyless entry with 3 presses of the remote solves the problem
....
Anyway, the fact that RR theft rates are down to 0.07% has to be a good thing. Maybe the thiefs have cottoned on to all the internet stories about JLR unreliability, so have moved on to stealing Porsches. Oh. No, hang on…
What about the poor people that wanted theirs to be stolen but it hasn’t been…Maybe everyone who wanted a stolen RR has got one now, so the market is saturated...
