Sounds lovely. Excellent colour choice too.  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

I have added 22" wheels and adaptive headlights into the order. Has anyone who fitted the 22" as opposed to the 21" noticed any difference in the ride quality? MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

I have got 22 and you don't feel any difference

Well I decided to change my order slightly. Changed from cirrus to ebony and ivory interior, ivory seats with the shadow zabrano wood. Also deleted the remote park heat but added the massage seats. Still no definite build date other than being told September  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

Well the last chance to amend my order is fast approaching ( Wednesday 15 July) and I thinking of changing the order

again, the admin staff must love me

I have been undecided on the body colour for a few weeks now. Having had a dark blue sport before I know how hard they

are to keep looking good and after meeting an owner a couple of weeks ago who said he wish he hadn't picked such a

dark colour I am having a re-think.

Don't want black or green for the same reason (too Dark), don't want red or white and

fancy a change away from the grey as there are loads of them about so looking at the lighter colours possibly Indus or

Aruba. Anyone with Aruba or Indus out there ???

It is expected at the dealers on 20th Sept so not long now  MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

I have Aruba coming, after seeing it in the showroom.

Have a few pics I could post 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

2022 HSE Dynamic P400e

2017 Discovery 3.0 HSE Silicon Silver Nimbus interior and a few extra toys SOLD

2013 HSE Black, Orkney Grey, Ebony Seats and Ivory Interior SOLD

2006 HSE

Plus a few other cars inbetween!

If the SVR had not been available in Estoril Blue, I would have gone for Indus. One of the easier colours to look after though not if you ever need repainted panels to match. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

I'd stick with the blue if I were you. I'm currently waiting on a Loire Blue HSE 3.0 With Almond/Expresso interior with a few extras:

Towbar
Stereo upgrade
Seat back TVs
Fridge Cooler thingie
Parallel park
Fixed panoramic
21 Inch phat alloys
Red Brembos
5+2 seats

This is a picture of Indus that I found online and an interior that I saw a couple of days ago that I liked

Hi Bobajobbob, I know where you are coming from with regards to keeping the Loire Blue but I also know it takes a lot of keeping clean. It looks great in the showroom or in bright sunlight as the metallic really looks good but seem to have less time lately to spend on it. MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

This is what I am thinking

Indus Silver
Ebony / Ivory interior with 2 tone seats and extended Zebrano wood
Ivory headlining
Blind spot monitoring with closing vehicle sensor
Santorini Black opening roof
Extra washer bottle
Auto dimming mirrors
Soft close doors
22" wheels as per the picture
20 way massaging seats
Head up display
Lane departure warning with sign recognition
Privacy glass
Solar reflecting windscreen
Surround cameras
Twin sun visors
Load through rear seat

Got to decide by 3pm tomorrow MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

Thats a good combo. Pics looks great. The silver colour is a touch too light for my taste but still looks great.
