The latest Autocar shows a deguised Velar SVR testing at the 'Ring - looks like it will be a rival for the RRS SVR at a (slightly) lower price as it will be lighter and more aerodynamic than the RRS version. Slated by Autocar to be only 1800kgs with the same engine as the RRS. Also on the way is an SVR F Pace. Price of the Velar said to be around £90,000, 0-60 in 4 secs 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

That's correct Tim, we discussed this on the previous page already. The car being tested is however, running a 3.0 engine and not a 5.0 so the Velar SVR may be based on a 3.0 Supercharged engine

But of trivia

The Velar has sweeping LED indicators like the Audis do and this effect can be turned on or off in the settings menu. Pretty cool

I have vidoes but can only upload pics and not videos on here.

I like that effect. When I first saw it on an Audi I was like "how come no one ever thought of this before?". Makes the standard blinking indicators look a bit  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Thanks that's the tough bit

Congratulations RRS. Superb spec ,can't wait to hear you views on the Velar.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Thanks buddy! I have actually changed my mind and gone for a First edition car! The car I spec'd up was £79k and the FE was £83k so for a little more outlay I'm getting a car that is now sold out nationwide (no dealers can get hold of first edition car for the foreseeable future)! Made more financial sense if there was such a thing for a £80k plus car

RRsman you must have some good contacts at JLR, keep us posted on the new toy! I'm interested as I may look to slightly downsize in a year or so's time.

RRS are you still going diesel ? colour? SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.
