and is it worth going for one with the rear e-diff as opposed to open diff? --

you have to wonder when a JLR salesperson asks the following:

Was the car imported from a cold country, or was it standard fit on that model? |

no, it wasn't standard, the original owner probably specced it like that.

Having had a long chat with the local dealer's sales people, it looks like the better choice in the range is the SCV8, as the SCV6's consumption is worse than the SCV8.

The SCV8 is a hoot! Goes like a scalded cat when required, or pootles along with the traffic. On reasonably long journeys (mixed of single and dual carriageways) I get 22mpg |

Other reason to go for the SCv8 is that in the UK at least, the SCv6 doesn't get Dynamic mode which makes a big difference to the high speed handling and in the UK also gets you the e-Diff. I would imaging that 99% of Dynamic equipped RRS2's will never need the e-diff but I use mine offroad and it means that for most of my off-roading I don't need to change from my 22" wheels with road biased tyres onto my 20" AT's - OK so I haven't tried deep mud yet in the RRS or Rock Crawling but everything else I have kept going when others in ATR shod Defenders have ground to a halt. It is amazing how much it locks and unlocks too, even on heathland and wet grass you can see it partly engaging - it does it 33% closed, then 66% then completely locked too it isn't just fully open or fully closed. The S/Cv8 gets dynamic and the e-diff in the UK 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The seller doesn't seem to list much gear with it, V8S/C in UK is only available with Autobiography trim, I cannot read what the badge on the tailgate reads - in the UK the HSE (non-dynamic) has a similar badge to the Autobiograpghy but the Dynamic HSE only has the SPORT badging in red. Corris is a great colour too I'm not a fan of those wheels but they are what it comes with in the UK too, mine has 22" 10 spokes which are nice and easy to clean after off roading in mud....... Is the tow hook the deployable one or the removable one or fixed?
