The Iconic & Classic Sale at The NEC Classic Motor Show 2025

116 The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025 Cars When the third-generation Range Rover (L322) arrived in 2002, it redefined luxury SUVs overnight. Designed under BMW ownership and engineered to a standard far beyond its predecessors, it quickly became the essential accessory for the world’s most photographed celebrities, fusing country-house prestige with red-carpet status. From royalty to rock stars, and fashion icons to global performers, owning a black L322 was as much a statement as carrying a Hermès Birkin or wearing Tom Ford-era Gucci. Few embodied this era more than Kate Moss. Alongside fellow supermodels Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and peers of the ‘supermodel elite’, Moss shaped the visual language of early-2000s fashion and celebrity culture. Effortlessly cool, rebellious and internationally recognisable, she was the face of British style – and this very 2003 Range Rover Vogue V8 in black was her chosen daily transport during some of the most documented years of her career. Registered new in 2003 and finished, naturally, in black with a petrol V8, this Vogue was frequently photographed outside Moss’s then-home in The Grove, Highgate – a street that became a focal point of London’s celebrity geography. It was even captured by the paparazzi following a minor altercation with a wing mirror, a moment widely reported in the tabloids, only adding to the car’s public familiarity. At the time, Range Rovers weren’t just transport – they were cultural shorthand for ‘Britain’s A-list’. Adding further intrigue, Moss’s next-door neighbour was none other than George Michael, another global icon also famous for his black Range Rovers. The image of two of Britain’s biggest stars, side by side on the same North London street, each stepping out of identical L322s, has become a defining symbol of the era. This car wasn’t just part of the scene – it was parked on the front line of 2000s celebrity Britain. Despite its high-profile past, remarkably this Range Rover has had just two former keepers. Moss owned it for several years before it passed into private hands, and today it remains presentable but honest, showing the kind of light age-related wear one would expect from an early L322 that has lived a real life rather than been hidden away. In many ways, this authenticity enhances its appeal – this is no sterile showpiece, but a genuine artefact of modern culture. The car starts, drives and presents respectably, and with values of good early L322s beginning to climb as collectors recognise their significance, the addition of such an evocative ownership history gives this example a unique position in the market. The question, then: does provenance matter? In the world of fashion, music and pop culture – absolutely. Just as watches, dresses and personal effects belonging to high profile figures have soared in demand, so too are celebrity-owned cars now recognised as legitimate collectibles. Offered without reserve and guided at just £10,000–£15,000, this could well be one of the most talked-about lots of the sale. Whether you are a Range Rover enthusiast, a collector of fashion and celebrity memorabilia, or simply someone who understands the power of cultural provenance, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a car that is far more than the sum of its parts. Once owned by one of the most influential supermodels of her generation, this early L322 Vogue became a familiar sight in the celebrity landscape of early-2000s London.
