Range Rover/Discovery Test Mule Spotted

[Aizle]

Just spotted this at a service station on the M6.

Hope they change the front before they sell it

I saw one of those two on the m40 yesterday.

Looked a nice shape, irrespective of the markings/camo.

I was at an MG Show at Coombe Abbey, east of Coventry, in July 2004 when a 4WD looking very similar to the one in the original post (in terms of the paintwork) drove onto the field - then full steering lock was applied and the prototype disappeared again pretty sharpish ...

It didn't have the cut'n'trimmed board on the front though; TD4s - from memory - looked the same some months later but they were only one colour *ahem*.

That looks very similar to the rear on the new Ford Explorer in USA.

I never understood what the pattern/camo was for?

To disrupt the lines of the vehicle.

ive just seen a white 61 plater in my local texaco, strange because we are only a small town right on the coast, it looked to be a similar model to these, but with some middle aged chap behind the wheel on his phone.

overall looked very smart, better than that low slung, hatchback type version that hasnt long been released
