Introduction

‘WAITING FOR THAT DAY’…it has arrived! You now have the chance to own a Range Rover Vogue that was once owned by George Michael.
Marking the beginning of the third-generation Range Rover (L322), a model that significantly raised the standards of luxury and refinement for the brand. Developed during Land Rover's ownership by BMW, combining traditional Range Rover off-road capability with a far more sophisticated driving experience.
Inside, the Vogue offered a level of comfort previously unseen in Range Rovers. Soft leather seats, dual-zone climate control, and an advanced sound system created a luxurious environment.
Performance comes from a 4.4-litre BMW-sourced V8 petrol engine producing around 282bhp and 324 lb-ft of torque, delivering smooth, effortless performance and making the vehicle particularly comfortable on long motorway journeys. This is well-matched to a smooth five-speed automatic gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive.
One of the vehicle's standout features is its electronic air suspension, which can raise or lower the ride height depending on road conditions. This system, combined with advanced traction control and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system, allowed the Range Rover to remain exceptionally capable off-road while maintaining a smooth and composed ride on the road.
The Vogue remains one of the most iconic and luxurious Range Rovers ever produced. Its elegant design, commanding road presence, and high-quality interior helped establish it as one of the most desirable luxury SUVs of its era.
This example comes with superstar status, as it was purchased new by George Michael. Our vendor tells us that it then went into ownership of George's father, then back to George It was subsequently sold to the previous owner, a trader who purchased it directly from George, and laid it up in dry storage. It was then sold to our vendor - who is a huge fan - in 2017.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Ebrahim the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Ask Owner
In The Snappy Snaps picture, The registration is LJ52 ODW. Is this the same car?
Hi, the number plate you have quoted was on the car when first registered. The press used to always hound George and published photos of the car outside George’s house, I think the number plate got swapped to current one after that photo being published. This is not the snappy snap car linked to prescribed medicine incident. One of the photos show George leaving in this Range Rover with the plate you have quoted. I am a life long George fan that’s why a purchased his car in 2017 after the very sad passing of George.
Hi Ebrahim, I’m seriously interested in the car. Would you be happy for me to arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before the auction ends?
Hello, if you’d like to do this then please email [email protected] – first please source your PPI company and have availability ready. We’ll also need to run though ID checks too. Thanks Adam
Hi,
Thank you for your interest. Yes it would be fine to arrange an inspection. Please contact Trade Classics to arrange. Please see instructions from Adam on how to arrange.
Does the air suspension work fully with no faults?
Thank you for the question the suspension rises once the car is started and remains like that. In the photos the car was taken out from dry storage and just parked up on the grass as they wanted to do a cold start video. I purchased the Range Rover to store because George used it and wanted to keep it like in his ownership. So during my ownership hardly used but regularly started it up.
Lovely example. Just one question as I’d hate to Wake Me Up Before I Go-Go into the ULEZ and get stung. Is it compliant?
Thank you for the interest and using one of George’s early song’s. I have just checked regretfully it is not ULEZ compliant. I think all the BMW engine ones are same.
