Well, after a lot of going back and forth I finally took the plunge and bought my first Range Rover Sport, a G4 Challenge vehicle.

It is the 4.4 V8 and comes with all the G4 extras, including:
- Roof rack + spot lights
- Rear ladder
- Light guards
- Underbody protection
- Warn winch
- Rear e-diff

The car was used only in the first stage of the Thailand part of the G4 Challenge, and was then a support vehicle for the other two stages. It was then sold by Land Rover to a lady who has owned it for the pst 5 1/2 years.

I must admit, it's really growing on me, I love it. It is thirsty (19mpg on a run home, although it did have 4x original G4 alloy wheels in the boot!) but other than that it's perfect! Does have a few niggles I need to sort out, and some of the accessories have the odd battle scar but the car itself is in good nick.

Anyway, here's some pics - let me know what you think:

Well done mate. Looks a clean and well kept sport. Now all you have to do is enjoy it which you will.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

I quite like the Classic myself  Ex-G4 Challenge RRS HSE, BV55 YZE. Subtle shade of orange ! Now registered YZE481 G4RRS in Melbourne.

Very nice Mike you will really enjoy it. Can't wait to see it next week. Hope you are enjoying Cadwell.

Not at all jealous!......looks awesome.

MikeS - the Classic is a lovely vehicle but with a 330Ci and a motorbike it sadly has to go!

Simon - thanks, it is lovely. And Cadwell was EPIC!

I live in Dubai but my house & property is in West High Wycombe. It was the red bricks on the surrounding houses that gave your location away.
Don't worry....I'm not scoping you out for a late night visit

What are you going to use the G4 for? Do you intend to get it grubby or even muddy? Morocco is screaming out for that car to pay it a visit (and so are the petrol stations).

Did the car come with any two way communication equipment or terra-trips etc? Whats that little gizmo on the dash above the drivers side air vent? Ra-Ro Sport Super Dooper Charged.

Streaky - I am going to Morocco for 3 weeks in August, hence the purchase of a G4 rather than standard RRS. Going through Spain, across the Atlas mountains, down and across the Sahara and back up the Atlantic Coast - can't wait!

There are two aftermarket dashboard additions - the one immediately left of the steering wheel is for the roof spotlights, the one nearer the sat nav is a bluetooth phone kit. It has the radio antenna on the roof rack but have no idea if it works I'm afraid!

pjb - good effort! Where was that? Also, what size/make/model tyres do you use?

Looks fantastic Mike, I am sure you will enjoy it

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I'm really pleased with it! The previous owner lived on a farm and had horses, so first step has been a thorough clean in and out. Then got some niggles to work through to get it up to scratch! - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)
