Hi guys,

Browsing for a RRS and read a few that say "first Edition" what's this mean and what dates where they made etc?

www.telegraph.co.uk › Motoring › First Drives
9 Apr 2005 - Peter Hall was given early access to the new Range Rover Sport, on road and ... for the First Edition (limited to 150 in Britain) of the range-topping ... It is the supercharged model that best expresses the nature of the beast, ...

Best I could find

So I'm off to look at my log book - another £2k or more on the price I think  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

Always thought first edition was the orange coloured Supercharged. Obviously need some further education..... 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

I have seen some black ones calling them first editions?

It was an option for the 2005 model year. I've got a brochure that I will dig out tomorrow that states what it is.

Hi

my interpretation of " First Edition " is it was the first of the RRS ie 2005 it was just the first model like your Cortina MK 1

In the range rover full fats they were known as First Generation etc

Hope that helps but I might be wrong,

I have been wrong on may occasions  Working with Virgin Trains and band of Brothers/Sisters to do something special for our injured servicemen and women

I had a Black 2005 first edition Gone but not forgotten, 2005 RRS SC first edition, BMW 2010 Z4,TVR Tamora, TVR Cerb, MERC SL 55 AMG, E46 M3, Z4, Jag S type R, Skyline R33 GTR 640 bhp, Evo FQ 400, L322 RR, X5, Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo, Lotus Elise 135r, Nissan Murano, Honda S2000, 911, Boxster s...and a few more

I too am curious - especially about the spec level of these "first editions".

I've dug my price list out for the 2005 model year and the differences to the Standard supercharged model are:

Increased OTR price by £1'500 to £59'000*
20 Inch Stormer alloys
Hand polished real lined oak door and centre console inserts
Range Rover carpet mats, bright tread strips (4 doors and tailgate)

I've got the sales brochure for the 2005my as well but that doesn't mention the 1st edition.

*OTR price includes 12 months road fund licence at £165, how times have changed!

when I bought mine, I was told this.

the first 250 were orange, and only available as S/C. Take it or leave it, you had no choice. You also had no choice with options, they came with everything. as above, plus fridge, media centre in back, perforated seats etc

Once those 250 were sold, they produced 250 in black and 250 in silver, and you could order your own spec.

BUT, it was a salesman telling me this when buying mine, so you never know !  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !
