Sent a Q to the seller who is a dealer by the looks of it.
He says that this is an April 05 car and is classed as an S and that it was only after July that this would have been classed as a base car!
He says that the dealer and factory have confirmed this. Zermatt silver 06 reg.
Gone but not forgotten !!!

I asked the seller too!
Asked him why the picture of the stereo only shows the base model and also why xenons aren't mentioned!

No reply from dealers - someone is going to get done up like a kipper on this sale 
Also interesting that it has:
Interior Light Pack 
193 bhp engine returning 34.5 mpg  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Of course it is probably not the sellers fault as LR have been known apperently to say these cars are genuine S's. Zermatt silver 06 reg.

Still can't see why anyone would bid on anything on ebay with 8 days to go. Nothing like the last few nail biting mins in my view .... ..............Somewhere in-between my old D3 and what's to come next .........

Just had a reply from the dealer:
Thank you for you interest, the car was supplied to us directly from Land Rover as an S model, they state that some of the early models had an update in July 2005. The base model in the range is of course the S for 2006.
Thanks again for your help
Regards
Jim Johnston

But don't forget that acording to earlier posts LR have been known to twist the facts about these misbadged cars, so this seller / dealer may only be passing on what he has been told. Zermatt silver 06 reg.
