The fourth-generation Range Rover, internally designated the L405, was unveiled in 2012 and represented the most technologically advanced luxury SUV Land Rover had ever produced. Combining lightweight aluminium construction with exceptional refinement, permanent four-wheel drive and the marque's renowned Terrain Response system, the L405 established a new benchmark for luxury off-road vehicles. In flagship Autobiography specification, occupants enjoyed an exceptional level of craftsmanship and equipment, making it one of the world's most desirable executive SUVs.
Unsurprisingly, the platform also became the vehicle of choice for specialist security conversion companies, with discreet armoured examples commissioned by governments, diplomatic services, international organisations and private individuals requiring the highest levels of personal protection. Outwardly almost indistinguishable from a standard production vehicle, these highly engineered conversions combine ballistic protection with everyday usability, allowing occupants to travel in complete discretion without sacrificing comfort or capability.
First registered on 15th December 2016, this left hand drive Range Rover Autobiography is a particularly rare example, professionally converted to VPAM 7 / CEN B6 ballistic protection, incorporating B5 protection in accordance with EN1522/EN1063 standards. The armour specification provides resistance against high-powered rifle fire, including 7.62 x 39mm and .308 Winchester ammunition, together with protection from .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum handgun threats, placing it amongst the highest levels of civilian armoured protection available.
The conversion includes multi-layer ballistic glazing, reinforced armoured passenger cell construction and the associated engineering modifications required to accommodate the additional protection, whilst maintaining the discreet appearance expected of a premium Range Rover. The accompanying certification literature details the VPAM security classification and construction standards.
Powered by Land Rover's smooth 2,995cc petrol engine coupled with the effortless eight-speed automatic transmission, the vehicle has covered just 39,500 miles from new and has had only two former keepers. Finished in blue and specified in luxurious Autobiography trim, it combines the marque's renowned all-terrain capability with exceptional refinement and security. ULEZ compliant and offered complete with its armouring documentation, this remarkable Range Rover presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a professionally engineered Level 6 armoured vehicle.
Equally suited to specialist collectors, security organisations or private buyers seeking one of the most discreet and capable protected vehicles available, it represents a fascinating blend of advanced engineering, luxury and uncompromising occupant protection. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
