That's a Series 1, it's got flat sides

Apologies, you’re right

The advertised vehicle is a Series 2, & must have been a later replacement?
I was tired, & been up a long time

I remember this being a feature vehicle in LRO magazine (Land Rover Owner)

I see this almost every day on my way to/home from work
It’s a daily driver, & l often see it out & about

I almost bought one quite a few years ago
I’d had a few Landies, & wanted a Range-Rover (original shape), but wife said “No”

She was fed up of my liking for them (that’s changed since 2015)
So l considered a 5-door (3.1D), as we had a twin-axle Swift Challenger at that point

However, l ended up with that Discovery 50th Anniversary
(I never liked it that much, but would happily have had a ‘Commercial’, the 3-door ‘van’)

You dodged a bullet, the 3.1 Isuzu engines would implode, then Isuzu would refuse warranty, iirc the cheaper option was a replacement 2.8 diesel that was bomb proof

Vauxhall briefly rebadged and sold them as the Monteray.

Indeed, they did

I saw it out & about locally yesterday, but it had gone by the time I would have got chance to take a photograph

I didn't mention in the quoted posting, but it's a 5-door, or, is it really a 6-door?
