Had it over a month now, it's a Mercedes ML 420 V8 CDI Sport with full AMG kit. It's very very similar to how the Q7 'felt'. Probably the biggest immediate difference is fuel economy; I've had 35 mpg on a country road run.

Here's a photo:

Looks very nice but personally I would have spent the cash on fixing your roof……….  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

That's what Land Rover ownership does to you!

Why the intermediate step? Why didn't you get another RRS.? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

A couple of reasons;
1. Always fancied a W164 ML V8 CDI and I was offered this one at a price I couldn't really refuse, this tied in with the reason below.

2. A decent facelift RRS is circa £23-25k and I didn't want to tie that amount of money in a depreciating asset, I'd prefer to use some of the profits from the sale of one of my house renovations that I've got on at the minute (four and counting up to press). I did contemplate leasing a new one but I like to own my cars and pay cash.
