The 'best' British used car to buy now with 'fair' price that feels like luxury

Motoring experts have claimed an iconic Range Rover model is one of the “best” British-built used cars on the market. Specialists at Autocar pointed out the Range River Mk3 built between 2001 and 2012 as being among the very best on the road.

The car experts praised the machine for offering a great blend of "performance and luxury” and was wowed at the price. Autocar said examples could be picked up for under £15,000 with a great model on sale for just £14,500 when conducting their study. The Range Rover sat at the very top of their list of best British used cars to own right making it a vehicle not to be forgotten.

Autocar said: “The Range Rover has been Britain’s unofficial ambassador for more than 50 years.

“Our favourite is this third-generation version. It was developed by BMW and offers a fine blend of performance, luxury and off-road ability, and prices for this model are fair.”

The full-size luxury SUV is famed for its luxurious ride and off-road capabilities. The model also benefitted from a spacious interior making it ideal for the entire family to enjoy.

Underneath the bonnet, the Range Rover certainly packed a punch and was offered in a range of engine specifications including a 4.4-liter V8 and a 5.0-liter V8.

Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson even claimed the L322 Mk3 model was perhaps the “best Range Rover ever”.

He didn’t stop there, later clarifying the model was possibly the “best car ever made”.

Speaking to Harry’s Garage, Jeremy added: “People say to me what’s the best car ever made and I would say a Lexus LFA or something of that nature.

But the truth of the matter is this is probably the best car ever made. You once famously said it’s got the DNA of a transit van which it does.

AutoExpress Has previously claimed the Mk3 Range Rover “set a fresh benchmark in this booming market” at the turn of the new millennium.

They even suggested the model was worthy of its mark among the “all-time greats” potentially making it a modern classic of the future.

They explained: “It’s testament to the brilliance of the original design that the car still feels at the top of its game, nearly a decade after making its debut.

“And while the all-new model sets even higher standards, the beautifully engineered L322 deserves its place on the list of all-time greats.”
