2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

Just arrived my 2008 TDV6

Finally arrived yesterday afternoon.
Stornaway with ebony leather and zebrano trim.
It really does exceed all my expectations and the performance really is better than one would expect from the V6.
Just a few quick and dirties til I get some better ones tomorrow.

My mistake - I didn't see that yours is a very beautiful SE, I thought you had a TDv8. SE spec is actually just right, not too many toys but just thr ight ones to make it a very nice car. My old SE didn't have the Satnav. And such a nice colour too!

We'll have to get all the Stornoway Grey's together and pay that lovely town a visit one nice summery day! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

What year is your TDV6

As its got the Zibrano interior I assume it must be 2007. In which case I assume its got the dynamic suspension......so wouldn't the wheels be 19" to fit over the brembos or am I totally off plot

TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

Wheels are correct for a 2008.5 SE, and Zebrano Wood is a no cost option.

Could have gone for the Dynamic Pack which would add 20" Alloys, Dynamic Response, Brembo Brakes and Adaptive Bi-Xenons but at a cost of £3,250.....

Looks very nice indeed, just needs a friendly London dealers number plate!

Hi James,
I did try but for some reason the agreed "deal" went t*ts up after the "handshake"
Would have loved a few of the extras but had to keep the cost similar to my business partners XF which is on it's way. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

Oh no thats not good! When it's due for a change give us a shout and I'll look after you. We've supplied a couple of cars via Kam who's a good chap to know when it comes to sourcing a car.

Looks good!

Even if a single Stornoway Land Rover turned up on the island, I think it would be stoned and the driver hanged from the nearest street light!

It was printed in all the press and car mags last year, that the people of Stornoway officially complained to Land Rover because "Naming a grey colour Stornoway intimated that the island of Stornoway is a grey miserable place". Land Rover replied that their colours were all named after places. Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.
