Have LR opened the order books up yet? All I've been able to do is pay a holding deposit waiting for my dealer to tell me when orders will be called for.

Estoril Blue with bespoke interior for me.

And no, orders with factory not being taken yet.

My Dealer's just emailed me to ask for my spec in order to send the factory. They now appear to be calling them forward ready for apparently production in Q1 15.

Out of interest, what have you been given in the way of spec/options?

I put a deposit down with dealer almost a year ago when the rumours of TDV8 and/or s/c 5l started circulating.

My dealer just said to go on the online LR configurator as SVR is an option on there.

I'm in, deposit paid but undecided on the colour.

Was going for Corris but it looks very dark in pictures and I haven't seen it in the flesh as yet…………….may just go for a 3rd consecutive Red RRS if the grey turns out to dark.

The Dealer tells me the other Grey being offered for the SVR has a heavy hint on Green about it…….???? which put me off a little as I was hoping for a lighter Grey to compliment a black roof as a contrast.

Anyone have Corris currently that can give an opinion please.

I can't find any Defenders at all on the configurator? Are you talking RR/RRS?

If so I'll go back to sleep until the run out Defenders surface...

The Scotia grey does have a kind of green tinge I must admit. I've seen a Corris RRS with Santorini roof and it looked fine but you're the one writing the cheque.
Take a look at used RRSs on the LR site and you'll see quite a variance in pics.
Have you thought of Silver?

Some confusion here. I think you're talking about the run-out Defender from SVO, whereas most are talking about the Range Rover Sport SVR; also from SVO. Orders to the factory for the SVR should be open this week I believe.

Thanks Dave,

I've been a bit misled by another dealer who provided me with images of his Corris RRS, which now turns out to be Black or Havana hence my concern as it appeared very,very dark.

All very misleading I'm afraid confused.

How ever I popped in my chosen dealership yesterday on the off chance of Corris being on view on something in stock, which luckily it was…………all good now so the final decision
can be made.

Obviously after her indoors has thrown in her two penneth…..biggrin

Ahh... I'd seen references to an SVR Defender on Autocar and elsewhere and was hoping the official list was now open.

My last Sport (63 plate SDV6 Autobiography) was Corris with Santorini Roof. Great combo I think but a bit too understated for an SVR.

My add is here if you want to see pics of the colour combo: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/l...

Thanks Rich,

I agree with your thoughts that the Corris may be a little understated on this particular edition but I don't really fancy the old M3 Estoril after seeing it in the flesh on the SVR
and after my last 2 being Red its difficult to settle on a final choice.

Very much appreciated your pictures which have helped,small world too as your original supplying dealer is only just down the road from me.

Still might go the Corris route for a change as I don't fancy Black for polishing reasons and the Scotia Grey is a bit minty in the flesh after a close inspection this week.

Cheers…...thumbup

Estoril is nothing like M3 blue, more akin to Ford RS to be honest.
I haven't seen an SVR in Scotia but I've seen the other colours and they all had different qualities. I'm not going to name favourites as everyone's taste is different
