Nice - I think you will find a few of us on here with both LR and AM products

I have a Range Rover, Aston Martin, Triumph Bonneville and a Mini. (Ok the last one is really German).

I went to an Aston Martin owners meeting today, and indeed: a lot of people turned up in Range Rovers.

If I wasn't afraid of the running cost and reliability (myth or not?) of a RR, i'd buy one in a second

Best of British I like it :-)

Very nice collection. Is the Aston wrapped? I didn't think Flugplatz Blue was available on an V8V of that age.

Its a myth mostly, they are volume sellers so a small percentage of horror stories helps perpetuate the reputation. The biggest cost is depreciation as always. Last time I changed into a 3 1/2 year old RRS that had already lost £50k from new. I do 15K miles a year in it. Consumables wear out more often than a regular car, but specialists are reasonable for servicing. £250-300 every £15k.

Is that red car British?

[Mansfield]

No, but its the most economical

[ChilliWhizz]

Pretty much every car I've ever owned, in over 40 years of driving has been British Currently own '72 MGB Roadster, '98 TVR Chimaera 500, and '06 Vantage.... Also proud to be British

To the OP....

Here's a montage of my British collection; Blackpool, Staines and Newport Pagnell. Unfortunately I've yet to get a picture of all three together.

Perfect combination: Range Rover and Aston Martin, here's mine (I'm on my 5th RR), a 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography.
My wife drives a MINI so it's all British for us too. No Belgian cars so proud to drive British! :-)

[66MK]

Me too!
