Folks
Can you please tell me the main differences between the Sport TDV8 HSE & HST.
I know the obvious things like different wheels, bumpers, grill and door bottom trims.
Are there any other differences?
How much extra was the HST when new and how do they differ to HSE prices as used?

Thanks as always in advance.

One of my favourite questions and oh such a predictable answer

HSE - feminine look, lots of toys, naff wheels

HST - Agressive - the way a Sport SHOULD look, lots of toys, Daddy Stormer wheels

HST is normally approx £5k more than the HSE spec. You are effectively paying £5k for the wheel upgrade and body kit.

Used price wise, the HST used to be the "outcast" but has gained more popularity, in all honesty, there will not be much of a difference, but historically the HST command (ed) better prices before the great credit hoax  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Thanks for the reply mate, I guess I was worried that the HSE might have had more luxuary toys where the HST was more sport focused.

I see that LR make the HST as a factory oprion but there also quite a few HSE's on the used market with the Overfinch wheels and/or a HST bodykit already fitted, are these factory options or dealer upgrades?

Do they cause resale problems, warranty issues or excessive insurance premiums?


Sorry for all the questions, never spent this much money on a used car before so want to get things right first time!

Yes its a factory option, but for a while they were applied via dealer networks, soon stopped due to issues I believe.

I don't think they will cause any resale issues nor insurance issues as at the end of the day if you quote it has it from the outset, i.e. it has been modified, then the insurance company etc have to pay out.

Adding some better wheels and a bodykit should if anything not affect the premium one bit, but then again, it probably will  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!
