Tentatively looking for an RRS1, must be 5.0SC

Spec wise, not important
Colour/interior, not important

Would take accident damaged, or one in need of work, as long as it starts and drives, or even one being traded in

In no rush whatsoever, and happy to wait for the right car

Thank you, I look on eBay all the time and with different search terms and I have never seen that one before!
eBay seems to do this quite a lot make it hard to find stuff without exact words. Never used to be that hard I’m sure haha.

Probably because the seller has placed his auction in the car parts section rather than cars, thats why he didn't get any bids on it previously, he has now relisted it but still hasn't noticed it's in the wrong section 2015 L494 SDV6 3.0 HSE Dynamic

Well spotted thank you! Any others like that you’ve seen along your way?

If you search eBay without any filters or classification restrictions for the text Range Rover Sport 4.2 Supercharged then you get 24 results today. Some pretty juicy options for £6k to £7k.

But only half that number for 5.0 and they are at least double the cost of 4.2s... clearly a sort after engine. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Would you consider the Overfinch one on there 10.5k?

I do not like any RRS modified from factory spec, within reason, and I especially do not like Overfinch, Khan and so on. I consider them over priced and often not very tasteful. But you're asking the-square-guy-who-buys-brown-cars, there are others who should weigh in! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

To be fair I mostly agree with that I would love a standard HST problem is there’s barely any of top standard models about
