I had light cloud and ebony in ours; fantastic combo.

23" wheels look obscenely big and do not alter how comfy the car rides at all.

Can a few of you with a ‘23 MY RRS or FFRR see if your petrol flap locks with the central locking please. I took mine in to have this looked at and was told “oh, due to semi conductor supply, they all do that sir”. Like really?

They took the locking petrol flap off the Defender this time last year for the same reason. Bonkers I know.

Just had the phone call with a July build date, so will probably be a 23 plate. September delivery will be 16 month wait.

I received an email about 10 days ago with a build slot this week, should be delivered to the dealership in a week or two apparently. Looking forward to it now.

And as if by magic I’ve had the call to say it’s already at the dealer. Going to pick it up on Friday. Slight buggeration factor was my current insurance company not insuring them, had to take out a new and fairly expensive policy with Esure.

My FFRR petrol cap locks with the central locking it’s a D350 HSE.

Was just offered a canx order, immediate delivery. Spec basic, so passed…where’s mine ffs!

[Familymad]

Still tempting though to have a physical car

My P440e Dynamic SE now has a build slot and is pencilled in to land at the dealership around the middle of June. By the time I get it, it'll be almost exactly 12 months from ordering.

[Familymad]

What colour inside and out?

[bimjim]

Varesine blue with a black interior, so nothing too exciting.

[Familymad]

Nice colour that. One in showroom this week. Tbf I don’t think any of the RRS colours look poor.

[djc206]

Picked her up earlier. They have made a slight mistake and given me the satin rather than silver wheels which I think might actually be a bit better in the flesh. I’ve been told they’ll swap them out if I want. Colour is Portofino blue which under the lights in the showroom and hopefully on a sunnier day than today looks beautiful. Very happy with it.

Just a heads up for anyone with a P440e on order the dealer said the price is going up as of tomorrow by 5.6%. They weren’t looking forward to those phone calls/emails.

I like the satin wheels, they go better with the dark exterior trim than silver wheels would.

As you say, the colour is lovely in some lights but doesn’t show off as much when it’s cloudy.

Enjoy

Epic. Enjoy the new motor! We’ve gone for the same colour but not the black pack. Still in two minds about privacy.

You either love it or you hate it. I’ve had it on every car I’ve had the option with for more than a decade so just tick the box automatically now.

Cheers

Thats my thinking but then again my last RRS was black, black styling, privacy glass and silver wheels and looked bloody lovely to my eyes at least. We’ll see. It’s quite nice to have the option to change after purchase!

It seems an across the board increase.

The car i collected 4 weeks ago now shows as over £4k more on the configurator.

Makes sense.

Will be interesting to see if I get a phone call this week then, got a build slot confirmed last week along with a minor price increase and stereo downgrade.
