Presented in original Oslo Blue with Charcoal leather interior, this third-generation Range Rover Vogue remains in largely unmodified condition. The vendor informs us that the included V5 shows ownership by George Michael under his birth name, and that photos of the artist with the vehicle support the provenance claim. The car retains its original registration SB52 XZP and is offered alongside a folder of images capturing the vehicle in the context of the artist’s everyday use.
Under the bonnet resides the BMW-derived 4.4-litre V8 engine, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, delivering refined performance and prestige befitting its owner. Inside, the cabin features soft leather upholstery, walnut veneer trim, Harman Kardon audio and dual-zone climate control, in keeping with the Vogue specification of its era.
The Range Rover name – introduced in 1970 – represented a bold fusion of off-road capability and luxury car refinement. The L322-generation (which includes this model) broadened that appeal into a global luxury SUV icon. This example, with direct ownership by one of Britain’s most celebrated pop musicians and supported by documentary evidence, offers collectors a rare convergence of music-industry provenance and automotive significance.
