Fairly sure there was never a 4.2SC Autobiography. The HST presumably has the different front and rear bumpers and locking rear diff. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In my opinion the Autobiography was the facelifted HST replacement. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
2012 5.0 SC AB. Sadly written off by a campervan
23 plate Focus ST (Current)
1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current)
1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current)
16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph

Would say that's about right, as the Autobiography Sport was only introduced with the facelift version MY10 on. Personally after having both I preferred the look of the HST body kit, although the interior of the facelift is much nicer. Mind you since then have fitted Overfinch GTS bumpers to the A/B.

Cheers Col  Steve.

HST was an HSE with a body kit and if it was a factory build one on a 2.7 then they fitted the e-diff too and a sunroof IIRC, 4.2 always had the e-diff and there was no Autobiograpghy in 2007/2008. As stated above Autobiography came with the facelift in 2010 and had additional body trims over the HSE. The 4.2V8 was dropped in favour of the 5.0V8, the 3.0 V6 diesel superceeded the 2.7 and the 3.6V8 diesel remained for a few months then it was dropped from the range, possibly because the performance of the 3 litre SD V6 was very close to it but with better fuel consumption and lower emissions, also IIRC DPF became mandatory in 2011. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Thanks Tim, that`s great  Steve.

No mate...I was asked the question  Steve.

Good luck with the sale
