It was black, parked up in Warwick Services on M40 this afternoon, Sorry should have taken a picture but looked lovely in the flesh. Was a left hooker on trade plates.

Are they officially on sale in the UK? In my opinion, (not sure about Evoque) but Jag / Landrover are making some really desirable cars at the moment. Especially F type.

You can place your order but (IIRC) customers won't be getting their first cars until Jan.

There was something special going around the Eastnor Estate today.

Just like a stalking tiger, camouflaged up, a quick glimpse and it was gone!

Got to sit in one at weekend which was out and about .... looks very nice in the flesh ...electric opening tailgates ...new roof makes it very bright in side ....door side vents dont look out of place.

Driver said...the car feels completely different being 400kg lighter....a lot easier to drive.

Saw two transporter loads heading south on the M25 the other week. Not just Range Rovers, a few defenders on there as well. All with foreign plates on, so looks like we're doing a good job flogging them to the rest of the world!

First dealer cars are due in the USA around Dec 20. There are cars here now for training and there will be more coming over soon as they will need around 40 for travelling road shows around the dealerships if previous launches are anything to go by. (We had Evoques travelling around about 2 months before the first dealer or customer cars). I assume the same is true for all markets so left hookers on transports are probably destined for that purpose?

I followed one on a 62 plate Wednesday night on M69 > M6 > M42 > M5 > A38.

We both exited M5 at junction 5 and he disappeared left into Droitwich at the island where I turn right for Ombersley.

Not sure what driver was playing at but on several occasions the driving was well below the required standard. frown

Probably trying to find the reserve tank after that distance - or worried he was being tailed! smile

If it was a light coloured 'gold' one then it is a regular in the Droitwich area. Obviously a senior LR employee.

They're in America. I saw one on the Garden State Parkway today with NJ Manufacturer plates. The badges were taped over but it was pretty obvious what it was biggrin

JLR are based in Marwah. There were 2013 RR's at the opening of the new Prestige JLR dealership in Paramus last week (F type was there too).
