The Range Rover luxury 4x4 enjoys Land Rover heritage and a solid pedigree stretching back to 1970. But with the boldly styled new generation range just out, 'old shape' values are weakening fast.

A 96N 4.0 V8 SE can be as little as £11,500, but it's the 2.5 turbo-diesel that most buyers want - a 55,000-mile 97R 2.5 DSE at about £18,000 should should give 25mpg against 15-17mpg for a V8. A top spec 97R 4.6 HSE with alloy wheels, leather trim and CD player is a mere £17,000; contrast this with a new 4.4 V8 Vogue, which lists at £59,995!
