2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey
Returning to the RRS Family after a 5 year gap

Today I changed my order for a Celebration Heritage 110 Defender with September build to an RRS2 HSE Dynamic with delivery at the end of March. As the car is in build next week there was no opportunity to change/ add to the spec which is Corris Grey, Body Colour roof with fixed Pano Roof, Privacy Glass and 22" Style 504 alloys. The interior is Ebony with Ebony headliner. I have added the following dealer fit accessories - front and rear mud flaps and front and rear Stainless Steel skid plates. It is a similar spec to my last RRS which was a 2007 TDv8 HSE. I was offered a similar spec on a Santorini HSE Dynamic too but I'm not a fan of Black cars.
This will be my 3rd RRS having owned a launch day 2.7 SE and a 2007MY TDv8 (the TDv8 was the best car I have ever owned, better even than the TDv8 FFRR that I replaced it with). Since 2010 when I changed the TDv8 RRS for the 3.6TDv8 FFRR I have also owned a 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic and and part exchanging an Evoque 5 Door for the RRS 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

thanks guys, no, no bigger garage, just even more junk in it! My Evoques coluldn't get through the door (they could but there was only 5mm clearance ech side and while I am a careful driver that was too small a clearance even for me!).
Found this photo of my last RRS (Stornoway TDv8) in the galleries\

Click image to enlarge

Looks like Corris and Stornoway are not disimilar ......... or my eyes are getting dim, in old age!
And this one of my 1st RRS - a 2005 TDv6 2.7SE

The TDv8 wasn't quite unmolested.................. I had the front fog/ driving light pods added and then the adaptive headlights got LED DRL's in body colour surrrounds added as well. Nearly forgot the HST grille too..............



I still have the fog/driving light pods in my loft if anybody is interested in taking them off me! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Nick I still have the 90, it is 19 years old this year and still a great vehicle and in such good condition that when I announced on another forum that I had placed an order for a run out 110 to be my only car I had 8 buyers for it in a couple of hours!
Having seen a new RRS in action recently I decided that maybe a 110 Defender wasn't really going to be the right car for me and an RRS would suit my needs better so there we are. I will keep the 90 a bit longer as I am about to spend a bit of money on it and the RRS will be a bit too shiney (not that that has stopped me offroading them in the past!) to offroad, I will also have to try and source some smaller wheels and more aggresive tyres for offroad days, then the 90 will be passed on to a new owner. I can tell you also that it is a heartache moving out of a 90! Impractical they may be be I have never had so much fun in a car and not been worried about damaging it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Paulo you could Google Maersk Triple E and you will see the sort of delivery truck I am driving these days, I also get to drive much smaller things and have just completed a spell on a ship called Safmarine Ngami which was tiny in comparison!

I've just been told that I have a VIN for the car so it must be on the way down the production line today!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
