Maybe Land Rover used a lot of TDV8's 'internally' as staff cars etc (rather than TDV6's) and they are now on the secondhand market?

I bought a MY10 TDV8 recently from an LR dealer and was told it was an ex LR company fleet car.


Sorry but this is not always true! As many people on here know I had both of my RRS on short term leases, the first for 6 months and the second for 9 months. During that time I had to insure them etc but I have no connection with Land Rover or any other motor related trade.

The company that leased them to me also provided cars to accident exchange etc. I was particularly attached to the TDV8 I had so after it went back I tried to buy it by watching the approved used site. I found it at a dealer and when I enquired about the car that I had had from new I was told it was a 'ex Land Rover Management car' and registered to Land Rover from new.

It seems they did have a surplus of MY10 TDV8 cars so gave them to short term hire/lease/accident exchange companies. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

I'm only relaying what James LPR told me about my car

Who was the dealer who lied to you? Was it a Censored by any chance?

Arguably LR would have kept the TDV8s for themselves, what with them being the best model Whistle ============

To be honest I don't think its the dealers fault. Land Rover UK are keeping the cars registered to them but leasing them out. The dealers don't know anything about their history other than who they were registered to, Land Rover UK, and the fact they bought them at a closed auction. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver

A lot of cars termed Land Rover Mgt by dealers are not even registered by Land Rover as first owner but a number of Vehicle Mgt Companies .. you can spot them as a whole batch of them will have similar reg plates ( DE, AK are examples I've seen in the past) ..... if they have been registered by LR they tend to have Brum (Solihul) or Oxford (Gaydon) Regs (although they could just be registed by a private individual in that area).

As others have said the dealers quite often don't know who previous owner was until V5 is made available. 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

My previous RRS TDV6 that I have just sold, was a year old when I bought it (AK 59 plate) and was owned from new by LR Lease Hire and had done 3,700 miles. When I came to replace it recently I looked at a TDV8 at Stratstones Cheltenham previously owned by a company registered to an address in Kensington London, that apparently used the vehicle as a kind of courtesy car (21k miles). My current TDV8 is a year old ex-LR UK owned vehicle.
Whoever owned them previously, the latest TDV8's now at dealerships seem to be the last of those Ford engines in stock Crying or Very sad I have not seen any registered later than September 2010.
