RE: Range Rover SVAutobiography

[garypotter]

Love the 2 tone paint, love the reclining rear seats but please please please do something with the front end, is that grill from a freelander.......

[swisstoni]

I'm sure Mr Kahn will be along soon with something exquisite.

Reminds me of this:

Those rear seats remind me of the David Brown Speedback.

Those seats look a little bit of a cross between some piece of medical equipment found in an abandoned lunatic asylum with a hint of swingers club.

Not really seeing what this offers above the normal FFRR other than letting people know you can pay more than the standard price for a Range Rover.

My missus got me some pants from Marks and Spencer at the weekend, they are "Autobiography" as well, strange how they use the same brand as M and S, that isn't very posh really is it ? it is a bit "Vanden Plas"

[Shaw Tarse]

Do the rear seats have "outer" arm rests?

[jamespink]

Not understanding knurled dashboard... Knurled knobs yes, dashboard no...

[bonus99]

The front is awful and the back is no better, as for the paintwork...

Are they dentist chairs in the back?

Call me old fashioned but I think the RR has lost its charm

PS> You would have to be a proper knob to sit on those tailgate chairs, surely?

[berlintaxi]

As they say, "just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should."

[HonestIago]

No one could possibly sit on the "event" seats without looking a total pillock IMO.

I think they should have lap belts and use them around the M25 :-)

[Qussz]

Hate the paint, They look better as a solid colour like the blue one in harry's vid

Hmm... a bridge too far? Knurled bits don't sit comfortably with rest of the int design... trying too hard to emulate Bentley when they had their own minimalist thing on the go.
Exterior add ons also look a bit Halfords, excepting the lovely wheels, which seem to be the only ones that don't look bland or fussy on the L405.
Rear seats look very bolt on, not a fan. Also misses the point as you want to be able to squeeze a third on the tailgate, as you normally can. Fellow guns would therefore think you rather selfish and a bit flash in this!

They are.

SVO creations are full cars spec'd as closely as possibly then taken to the workshop to have bits ripped out and other bits put in.

The best thing about these though is the button on the shoulder of the front passenger seat that lets the people in the back control where it goes.

[Shaw Tarse]

Don't BMW put a release out on April 1st?

[Cheib]

They'll sell plenty of them....think the paint job is great. I never understood why you would buy an Overfinch at £150k and I don't think anyone else will now.

Speaking from experience are we?

...unless of course they are strapped in, driven at speed around a paddock and awarded marks out of 10 for how much shampoo is still left in their flutes!

[jacksparrow11]

Great to see JLR producing these cars, I would have one without second thought if i had the money, For years the mega rich have been choosing Range Rovers over or in addition to rolls royce, There's not many cars on the market that could demand such a price tag, but This can.

The same as in a 2009 Camry then? (Indonesian Spec)
Not sure I would be paying 150k for this if I can get the very best part of it in a 5k Toyota.

[MisterF]

You could request those rear footrests be extended to provide retractable 'road skiing' facility....

Just purchase the optional titanium shoes and wait for the sparks to fly - awesome at night!

I know you were taking the p155, but that actually sounds like a proper laugh.
