Yes, I didn't spec the car though it was dealer stock.
No option for 20" on the SVA so officially LR say they won't fit, but a guy on the FFRR forum said he has customers with SVAs that are running 20" no problem even though it is a few mm lower than the standard 525 Autobiography apparently?

Picked up my new SVA on Thursday and have already put 1000 miles on it. Great car and very powerful.
We had to drive down and back up the stone beach (first photo) in the background of the second photo, to access the beach.
It's much steeper than it looks...
That's a really nice vehicle! I think the wheels are fine. If you don't like the look then just get them refinished a darker colour, not necessarily black but just grey / anthracite for example, to take the edge off the flashiness. I'd rather keep it to LR specs myself, especially when it's all nice and new.

I've bought this for my parents as they want a series Landy to drive around in but they live in SW France, so I made the call that a Series won't be anywhere near daily driveable or reliable, and I also don't want to drive it the 700 odd miles.
So I sourced this period-ish looking 1989 90, but to give it a period feel I'm back-dating it slightly with period retro mods *mainly galvanised things like cappings and removing excess plastic.
I've returned it to factory height springs, they're heavy duty so there's virtually no body roll (it's a daily pretender after all). And down from 35x12" mud bog bogger balloon things to 33x12" BFG ATs, and an early galv bumper.
Next to get the body cappings, cage and rock sliders galvanised or source used. I've just sourced a pair of early ninety lift up handle winding glass doors also, which need a refurb first, but they are correct matching faded blue with dents.
The hope is to turn it into more of a ninety than a 90, if you see what I mean. I think the decals need to say 'County' also.
Finally ivory coloured wheels and a full canvass top probably after X-mas. An I'm half hoping the canvass & sticks can be installed under the cage!
It's a 200tdi with a boost pin, and I've got my eyes on a large intercooler because PH.

I'm putting the call in now that your parents will never see it and you will end up keeping it once it gets under your skin!I've bought this for my parents as they want a series Landy to drive around in but they live in SW France, so I made the call that a Series won't be anywhere near daily driveable or reliable, and I also don't want to drive it the 700 odd miles.

I've driven a Fiat 500 for years. Nice car, served it's purpose but God it's boring. Suggested to the husband I'd like a change. "What do you want?" he asks....
Admittedly it's a bit of a change. Parking it was amusing at first as getting used to the sheer size of it coming from a 500 I could fit anywhere, but I absolutely love this car.
