Definitely not my cup of tea and hugely expensive.

That loading door seat and table combo? Impressive once but then literally a waste of space ever more.

And those rear seats are unforgivable in a luxury car that may often be chauffeur-driven.

But well done to Harry for fking about in the field with it.
I have something similar in my Range Rover:

It consists of a couple of cushions and a flap. The cushions were in the boot when I bought it and have sat in my garage ever since. I might use them one year at Henley but I normally take the Aston.

I do offroad my Range Rover too but the weight is a real issue. It has twice bogged down on soft mud (with all the offroad gubbins engaged).

Even with off road tyres?

Are those actually drink/cup holders on the side where the aluminium bottles are placed?

I don't know if anyone else thought the same but I expected the boot floor compartment to be for a pair of shotguns



A lot more useful than those pony seats...

I didn’t have the chairs but must admit I do miss sitting on the flappy bit on my Range Rover. I remember a nice day at Cadwell Park sat on it in the sunshine watching the racing.

Do the starlight ceilings depict actual real constellations, or is it just random dots?
the options are something like this (maybe)

starlight roof random 15 grand

starlight doors 20 grand

starlight roof constellation of your choice 25 grand
A chap I know who lives in oxshott has a starlight ceiling with shooting stars in his swimming pool room. It also has a solid cover that can be a dance floor - party room. I believe the house was around £20mil including the work he had done which includes a lift system under the garage to bring his cars up.

We got our 7.5t horse lorry stuck in quite deep mud. I towed it out with my Rangie with mud n snow tyres on…all 4 were spinning in low range but still found enough grip to pull it out. I was quite impressed.

Spent large chunks of my childhood sitting in the boot with dog at various events. Have done the same with my children except they've been indulged with a beanbag.

Tailgates are brilliant and having now turned 50 I'd definitely spec the Cullinan ones with the backs. biggrin

I read that as you HAVE specced your Cullinan with the seats and was about to demand your spec hehe

If you think this Cullinan is over the top, have a look at the Urban Mansory kitted and trimmed ones.
I saw a well known former Man City, then Chelsea footballist who is unable to pass EVER to his team mates, in his some years ago.

Got presence, and wasn't as bad as it could have been


I think if I ever need a Sports Luxury Vehicle (not a mere SUV you understand)

I'm going Bentayga Speed. Just a more cohesive design to me

The black ones really do look like a Black Cab.

I'm sure they're fantastic to live with but it wouldn't be on my lottery win drive.

Quoted as the first and only association of “Bentayga” and “cohesive design”.

I did wonder if it was a joke post but I’m not clever enough to work out those subtleties.

He mentioned shooting stars -- is that an embedded feature within the rooflining, too?
Yes. I am not sure how random it is - but it seems to be. Every now and again a shooting star will go across the roof.

I don’t think this example looks too bad in this spec.

I don’t think the series 2 facelift was great. Quite perplexed at their styling direction with it.

No doubt it would be a fabulous car to waft around in, but something just jars with the overall look of it. As above, I’d probably go down the Bentayga route in a nice spec, if it had to be a SUV. If it had to be a RR, then I think the Ghost looks the nicest.

False equivalence as it's missing four cylinders.

Hardly false equivalence unless you put massive focus on “must be v12” I couldn’t give two hoots if my luxury car had any more than 8…to me a perfect engine is a V8 and any more is just expense and complication when they get old (not that expense should matter to a true RR owner)

It's never going to be a looker...but I have to admit I quite like that one.

Even Rolls Royce do not differentiate based on number of cylinder. I also note the Range Rover has not equally been identified based on the number of cylinders logic.
