My dealer tells me the ordering system for the car is not yet up and running. LR said "October". As customers, we expect it there on 1st October, LR have the whole month and can still keep their promise.

I'm going to see my dealer on Friday to make a final choice about interior colours but I don't think I will be any the wiser about when I might receive the car.

LR have thrown down the gauntlet to Porsche with this car and we will be treated to lots of comparative reviews with the comparably priced (if not equipped) Cayenne turbo. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

November I think. 

Braddersmd I've pm'd you regarding the wheels

I have just sold my Range Rover Sport Autobiography SC as I am moving to the Continent. It was the best car i have ever owned and have done 14k miles in since last year. I am about to order a new lhd one and have been looking at the SVR. I don't really get the SVR as i some areas it is not as nice as the Autobiography. My main issue is the front seats. The Autobiography seats (and headrests) are fantastic and i am not sure that i want the hard backed racing sets which are standard and not an option apparently. Also they don't come with cooling or rear entertainment. So for getting a bit more power (which is marginal i guess as the SC is quick enough) you have to compromise in other areas. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Weight saving!! 5.0 Ltr Superchrged RRS2, Chile Red, Sideways out of junctions!
TDV8 HST Stornaway on a 08.. remapped.. now gone and replaced, was a mighty fine car..
4.2 SC First Edition when they first came out, quick car!

Horses for courses. I much prefer the SVR seats which I think derive from the F-Type. After seeing the prototype at Goodwood, I was instantly hooked.

If you don't "get" the SVR, it's probably not for you. Mark

Hi Sally, nothing wrong with Cirrus but a bit too light for me and I prefer the outside/inside of my cars to be just two contrasting colours. The danger of the all-black is, I admit, that it will look a bit like a coal-hole in there and the Cirrus will certainly lighten the interior.

Tough call, if I was able to see a car before ordering, I might have stayed with ebony/cirrus, but since I can't, I'm playing safe (and probably boring!) with ebony/ebony.

I think the black/pimento would go well with a black or silver car, can't see what the black/tan goes with really. Mark

Fair play, I was worried how the Cirrus would wear but having had Ebony/lunar/cirrus in the sport and i didnt destroy it, it was the only colour i have considered for the SVR. I like not having choices, Makes life easier! The black/black didnt quite cut it for me.

Guess if we all liked the same thing, life would be boring! 2012 Evoque

Are you going for Estoril, having seen the sample, I think it's fabulous, though not for the shy retiring wall-flower types. Mark

Yep!

I am a sucker for a blue car.... and nothing else looks as nice. Excited to see what it looks like when it arrives. 2012 Evoque

Its not so bad Mark, my car is Estoril body and roof with Ebony/Ebony inside. No pano either and I still don't feel like its too imposing.
But then I didn't pay for it......
