2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Martin, what a great idea and something he will have not even have a suspision is coming his way.
I get my complimentary SAGA membership NEXT year and I have already been asked two questions.................. will I be home (I'm beginning to hope I am not!) and what would you like? Well there are numerous answers to the 2nd question but I have already said that one of the "personnalised" ERTL model Sports from the local dealer would be much appreciated! I'll just have to arrange for the new Sport to be delivered on or after my 50th! My parents have their Golden Wedding this year and what are they doing.................... going on a coach tour to Eden Centre - Dad has at long last admitted defeat and decided that driving their huge motorhome from Scotland to Cornwall is very stressful when you get to 79 and better for the safety of others on the m'ways who don't appreciate somebody who will not drive a motorhome at one mph over 56 these days! I tried to persuade them to at least take their Honda Civic (which father drives as if there were no speed limits!) and stay in some nice hotels..... but no, mother has persuaded him to let somebody else do all the driving and they will get to stay in some crappy coach tour hotels! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Good job they got your order correct unlike mine!

Ok - so My Dad's 70th has come and gone [ 10/10/06 ] & the display cabinet/present was a complete success ............ although things were a little last minute rush .... picking up the actual cabinet ..... the day before, but all worth it in the end

I'm sorry for the poor quality photos - but was in a rush to photograph & in poor light with too much reflection/flash [ not an easy thing to photograph ] ............. needs the VA proffessional touch

But here are some pics

This was a real treat to acomplish - some of the models came from - Australia - America - France - germany and throughout the UK. They are mostly very limited editions and the RR Classic was definately the hardest to find.

The display case was made by http://www.modeldisplaycases.co.uk/index1.html They are local to me in Coventry - having been over to see them - I can honestly say they offer a truly 1st rate service & products
