Land Rover is one of the most recognisable names in automotive history. What began in 1948 as a versatile agricultural vehicle, based on a Jeep chassis, grew into a global icon of adventure and rugged reliability. From the Series I still used by farmers today to the Defender that achieved cult status, and from the Range Rover that invented the luxury SUV segment to the Discovery as an indestructible family car: Land Rover owners share a bond with their vehicle that goes beyond transport. At Octane, we understand that connection and ensure your Land Rover finds a buyer who shares that appreciation.

The market for classic Land Rovers has grown enormously in recent years. Original Series I, II, and III models, and especially the Defender in all its variants, are sought after by collectors worldwide. A well-preserved Defender 90 with original specification or a restored Series IIA are vehicles whose value rarely shows on classifieds. The auction format brings together focused buyers who understand what a matching-numbers Series I or a Defender Heritage Edition is truly worth.
The Range Rover occupies a unique position. The Classic (1970-1996) is now a recognised classic, and the P38 and L322 generations are also increasingly valued by enthusiasts who prefer their character and driving experience over newer models. Modern Range Rovers, the Range Rover Sport, and the Velar attract buyers who combine luxury, technology, and off-road capability. At Octane, we present every Range Rover with the attention the model deserves, including detailed specifications and professional descriptions that appeal to serious buyers.
The Discovery is one of the most capable off-road vehicles ever built. The Discovery 1 and 2 in particular have a loyal following among off-road enthusiasts, while the Discovery 3 and 4 with their independent suspension and air suspension are considered the best all-rounders in the segment. The auction format works particularly well for examples with low mileage, complete service history, or special specifications such as the Camel Trophy edition or a manual V8.
With classic Land Rovers, chassis condition is the single most important factor. Buyers check the chassis for corroded crossmembers, rust around mounting points, and overall structural integrity. On Defenders, the bulkhead (the panel between engine and cabin) is a known weak point: a healthy bulkhead significantly increases value. Door bottoms, wheel arches, and the floor pan deserve extra attention. A recent chassis report from a Land Rover specialist is a strong selling point.
With Land Rover, specification matters greatly. A Defender County Station Wagon with twelve seats and air conditioning is worth considerably more than a bare utility vehicle. Factory colours such as Coniston Green, Epsom Green, and Atlantis Blue are popular among Defender collectors. Original specification is valued, but professionally executed restorations with documented work by recognised Land Rover specialists are also very attractive. For Range Rovers, Autobiography specifications, special leather colours, and the full options package are important.
Every car gets a tailored campaign: positioning, spec highlights, and distribution to enthusiasts and collectors across Europe.
