Agreed it was the boy racer look I was trying to tone down.

Also, my favourite colour was portofino blue, which wasn’t an option in HST.

Hi both, I got the HST and had to adjust a little to the looks, but am really happy with mine. I think the key here was it was in Carpathian Grey, I couldn’t have done the red or Silver. I also admire the Portofino blue - when buying, I also had almost done a deal on a FFRR P400 Vogue SE in Portofino blue, but thought the HST offered better value, especially given it was a second hand car with just 3k on the clock in 4 months - apparently, the previous owner picks up a new RR / LR and places his next order at the same time - 14 cars over 4 years! Anyway, horses for courses - just love the P400 engine though, suits us much better than a P400e as this car does mostly long journeys (COVID permitting) - also heard a rumour that they might make it a phev version in the new RR.

Looks good!
I think part of my difficulty was that as I was ordering in Covid times I couldn’t go look at the cars in the metal. I haven’t driven a RRS since I LAST changed my car almost 4 years ago!

Agreed Swiggy, the engine is a peach and loads of power. Apart from the HST being too black, I wanted Portofino with an all ivory interior and don't like 'privacy' glass. The HSE was also close to £300.00 per month less, a clincher for me. Additionally the HSE has all the dynamic/configurable/terrain that are on the HST, I wouldn't have bought the car without these features.

enjoy yourself! Tim
RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..
