Well I decided that after a great year with my TDV8, it was time to move her on. Put it on Ebay, sold within a couple of days.
All good and well, thought I'd go buy a Golf GTD or an A4 Black Edition - but what a come down from the Range Rover! Can't bring myself to do it, so looking at a newer Sport!
And now the budget gets blown everytime I look! Started with 10/11 plate TDV6, then might as well stretch to an SDV6, then think if I'm spending this much I may as well get an AB and all of a sudden I'm at 45k

Wish I'd just kept my TDV8 Is it just me??

I think that's the same as most of us, I started in the 20s and ended up in high 40s with an AB . No regrets though and nothing comes close to the feeling they give you when driving and owning them

If your budget isn't fluid, have a look at Fullfats. You be surprised how much less they are compared to similar aged and miled Sport. just don't fool yourself it will be as good.....  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

yeah same here too ,started at 30 and ended up at 45500 but i love the car

I started with a budget of £18K and ended up spending £35K. Better value was my excuse, better car for sure.

Here's another way to look at it, usually if you spend more on something you don't regret it, spend less and you have to live with the dissapointment for a long time.

I had loads of cars in between my full fat and the sport over six years but nothing gave the same feeling.

I would have a look at the fullfats as they are nice and comfy.

stick to the sports ! full fats are old mens cars

Na that might be your view, I had a Fullfat before three Sports and would term it Grown ups car 🔫  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

You'd get a very nicely spec'd FFRR 4.4TDV8 for £45k. Sure, it's no sports car but neither is the RRS! The engine is even better than the TDV8 in RRS - so you can show most RRS drivers a clean pair of heels. Overtaking is easier too - not that it's difficult in the RRS TDV8.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

8 speed box is great, drove an old model for a day with sinking feeling that I had to give it back. Any way of transplanting? Thought not  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
