59 Reg pre-facelift TDV8

Hi All,

I'm looking to get myself back in to a RRS after playing with a FFRR for a year or so. I'm trawling the ads and have come across a 59 reg TDV8 pre-facelift for sensible money, but it seems to be missing the ACC that I thought was standard on all TDV8s. In the run out of this model before they moved to the new interior and 3.0 TDV6, does anyone know if the ACC was put on the option list or do you think this could be a RHD import ?

Cheers

Sounds like an import. Or someone doesn't want to pay the money required to fix the ACC so they've removed it. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Just checked with LR Customer Care and they have confirmed its a UK car built in Oct 2009 (must have been one of the last down the production line before the facelifts), but is an SE spec, hence the reason there is no ACC ... I didn't know you could get a TDV8 as an SE spec ?

How odd. I always thought that TDV8s were all HSE+ spec...

So what else is missing from the usual TDV8 spec? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

It's running on 19" wheels instead of the 20" alloys that it should be on, which is what first got me wondering about the spec of the car. Hmmm, I wondering if I should walk away and find something that is the right spec !

could well explain it ... it's about £3k less than it should be for a proper TDV8 HSE of that age and mileage.

Thanks for the link, The wheels might be winter wheels that the dealer isn't aware of and the previous owner may well have px'ed it in on those wheels and sold the 20's. The last of the old shape sports should have white indicator lenses in the rear lights too i think. Confused

Thanks spx, looking at this picture, the front bumper looks a different shade, maybe just the light and angle of the picture, but it might explain why there isn't ACC still fitted.

It is quite possible that it was built early 2008 and sat 'in stock' for quite some time before being first registered.

I bet there was a mega bonus for the first salesman to sell the only known SE TDV8!
