United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black
Spotted test car

I spotted a 62 plate camouflaged RRS in West Bay, Dorset yesterday.

Looked like a Land Rover employee family outing by the looks of the people who were with it. It was definitely a Land Rover test/development car as there was a big red 'kill button' in the centre console.

The car was wearing a camouflaged wrap that had seen some serious action off road, it was very grubby around the edges.

 I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

It was a metallic green underneath the wrap Smile

Interesting amount of black 'duck' tape around the front doors, though. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

The exhausts seem to be pointing more down than the production ones.

Thanks for that, Andrew.

The car was parked when we arrived in the carpark & was still there when we came back. The family with the car walked up, opened the boot, threw something in then locked it again & walked away. I was going to go up to speak to them to ask what they were testing with the car but they were too quick & there appeared to be two or three families all together so I didn't think it appropriate disturbing their weekend out.

I wasn't going to hang around any longer just to be nosy (too tight to pay for longer on the pay & display Laughing ) so I didn't get chance to hear it running or see it drive away to see if there were any obvious differences. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.
