England 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White
57 Plate HSE TDV8 gets makeover instead of being sold

My beloved Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE recently came up to it's 3 year anniversary. I have never previously kept a car for more than 3 years for fear of something major going wrong, and to be frank, they can start to look a bit tatty after 3 years no matter how well you look after them.

So - I had 2 choices - trade it in for a new 3.0 TDV6 or get all the scratches, paintowrk etc repaired and have it detailed and professionally done out inside and get an extended warranty on it. I opted for the latter!

I had all scratches and chips done first, then shipped it off to a great car detailer called Autodetail - a guy called Glynn O'Donnell based in North Yorks. He spent 2 days on it with 2 men - took wheels off, inside wheel arches were like new when he'd done, egine bay was spotless, the paintwork was immaculate, inside pretty much felt like a new car.

There's lots of pictures on my gallery of the process he went through - here are a couple of the finished article.

Can post more pics if requested.

Personally very happy - I feel like I've got a new car, all detailed, wearrantied and covered for another 20k or so miles. I never wanted to get rid of it in the first place, it's truly the best car I have ever owned. Jaguar XKR Convertible
