Here is a 2008 fullsize at the NCLR event last October.
That's lovely. I really like the low profile rack. Perfect. What wheels are those?

Sorry Kyle this is NOT correct. The rear electronically limited slip diff was an option on 07 and newer HSE and standard on the supercharged. All have a center locking diff but not rear locking diff.
I am looking for a 2007 or newer L322 which will be slowly converted for overlanding.
Update on my quest in case anyone give a crap
My wife has become convinced my rig needs to be a 7 seater. That rather narrows my choices down. I briefly suggested i build a d1 5 speed i found locally and she referred to it as an Alfa Romeo with 4wd (i'm a recovering alfaholic) and that i needed a reliable vehicle. I talked to her and explained that any vehicle can be made reliable but she suggested i just get a low mileage LR3 and we could both be happy. In the interest of avoiding marital discord as well as a continued interest in getting laid regularly i conceded
So, I decided i'd like to take my time and get one as "pre built" as possible. Some good tires, a roof rack, winch and maybe some lighting is all i'm after. Also my 8 year old has requested rear entertainment in my next vehicle and she's so damn cute (and such a good kid) I told her i'd try. Decided to sell my house this spring, so once that is done my search will begin in earnest.
Can't wait!
As a former owner of many Alfas (both as daily drivers and track cars) who recently bought an LR3, I fully endorse this plan of action!
I feel Alfa ownership is good practice for Rover ownership. Although the Alfas were far less complicated as I pretty much stopped after the Milano and GTV6 era passed on to the 164s. FWD Alfas....oh the horror!
Alfas are one of those things you can't explain - you either get it or you don't.
If you're the sort of guy who'd choose a Land Cruiser over a Land Rover based on reliability, you probably wouldn't care for an Alfa.
If you're the sort of guy who looks at both and says 'but that Rover is just so SEXY!' and figures 'how bad can it be?', then you sir may be cut out for Alfa ownership!
Seriously though, as the owner of many 60's, 70's, and 80's Alfas over the years I'd have no probably owning one again and likely will. I could really go for a step nose GTV. mmmmm....tasty.
