Just want to know what might happen. I have owned LandRover which required Premium "only". Had it filled with mid range fuel - ok no problem...slightly less accelleration. No major engine problems have been discovered.

Very. The KS will start retardation which will increase richness, decrease mileage, and may start a runaway overheating condition on less than new OEM spec cooling systems.
The O2 sensors and catalytic converter's life will be shortened.
Don't confuse a DOHC VH45DE with a Landrover pushrod V8 from the sixties. If you must buy regular, get a Honda or a later model Cadillac.
