Ah, so the orange was a diversionary tactic! Like the contrast stitching and still trying to work out what other changes you've had to the seats.

Looks good and how great to be able to see your car on the line - I went there thinking I might be able to at least be there when it was made but in the finish I was 5 days early and of course with 4000 odd cars in process at any one time, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So 4 of use here with cars, all Estoril. Great. Enjoy yours. Sounds like after an unpromising start, your dealer really pulled out all the stops when it came to getting the car to you. And, you haven't got to go back to have the fridge retrofitted!

Feel like taking mine out for a drive. I'm always looking for any excuse... Mark

It's a great looking car, it has the ass that all the other RRS should have, even just a single pipe each side would look better than the "normal" models. Surely a facelift of the back end is on the way?

congratulations.
very tasteful personalisation inside.

Enjoy, this car its worth to turn heads...

Btw, I am not happy tat the nicest upper front grill mesh is now reserved for the SVR models. I always did the upgrade to this nice detail as the regular grilles are not my style and it was part of the Autobiography package on the older models. But now I cant change it, as it looks alike i want to suggest its a "SVR" what is now a total different Range Rover.

But thats not your problem. Enjoy for us and please:
More pictures from the rear/side view, as this angle is also fantastic at the SVR...

Thanks... Bow down

Brilliant. Just so pleased that we got you here in the end Very Happy

You're right, the team at SVO are incredibly proud of what we've created and we also learnt a lot from having you with us for the day.

A great post Phil, I'll be forwarding this link to the team tomorrow morning. Thank you.

Dave

Phil, Just seen your picture of your keys, was that another little personalisation you had done? Very tempted do do the same - if only for the short term "difficulty" I've got with determining which RR keys are for which car before I sell the Supercharged! SOLD - 15 plate Estoril SVR

SOLD - 64 plate Aleutian Silver Supercharged

SOLD - 63 plate Corris SDV6 Autobiography

Pity that for your £100k Land Rover give you the same key fob as the cheapest Freelander2. You would think that somebody might have thought a bit laterally and made something a bit more special and individual to SVO and the SVR................ something you might like to show off. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Great post Phil , I really hope my purchase and hand over is as good as yours was , I can't wait for the car but I have that felling that something will go wrong and spoil the experience .
