United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black
Common as muck !!!

I had to drive from London to Newcastle yesterday and back this morning, so a total of around 750 miles mainly on the M25 and M1.

At first I was spotting the odd RRS and keeping a count, but when I got to 20 I quit - and that was only on the way. I reckon I've seen at least 50 in the two days. Interestingly they were mainly Zambesi ones, but I saw alot of Java ones further south, and alot of Rimini ones further north. There were a couple of Bonattis and a couple of Buckinghams too !

I hope the Zambesi one that had been recovered on a low-loader and was heading north on the M1 wasn't anyones from here.
Sad

On a positive note, the car was fantastic for the journey !

Yes, they are getting more and more common... I was in VA's neck of the woods yesterday and must have counted 10 simply between the BMW dealer and the A3 junction.

A flooded market, but they are still holding their value. Well, the diesels are anyway...

and where was the call to join you for a beer? I presume you were at Stoke d'abernon in the temporary BMW dealership, there is usually a salesperson called Kerry there, very fit! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Sorry mate... was rushing through. Yes, was opposite the station. It's normally the Mini dealer isn't it? Was a couple of fit birds in there but alas I have to deal with someone called Jason Wink

200 is the maximum it will do, if you look at the price you will see the last car is only about £45k then you can put in another search over that price and you will get another 20 pages and then about another 7 on top of that.


Loads more D3's now (had'nt extended that search enough Embarassed ) the gap used to be smaller in numbers Rolling Eyes

The new auto trader format looks quite good BTW Wink

There's a BB RRS on there, claims to have a semi-automatic gearbox. Very knowledgeable owner obviously Wink

I like the new format too... hadn't seen they'd changed, but it was not before time. The old format was awful.
