United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Zambezi Silver

Just seen the new Autobiography in the flesh. I am sat about 15 meters from it at the london boat show and getting more and more jealous every day. I seem to be spending more and more time sat in it too. One day...

I saw my first one yesterday. 3.0 TDV6 Black with black and white interior.

Quite liked the HST exhausts, which I noticed are designed the same as my Larini ones in that the diesel exhaust port is still pointed down inside the rear box. I wonder if Larini patented that Question

Imho I just can't see those white ish panels in the centre of the seats staying that colour for long. Blue jeans will leave their mark or in my case dirty riding breeches after riding my horse would really make them go brown.

Not sure that the aluminium strips on the front and rear bumpers at the bottom edge will last the test of time. Looked Cool when new........but I think they will go the same way as the edge of my side steps.

But it's definately a smart looking road going car and will be very popular no doubt. Thumbs Up TDV6 - gone

I assumed when the LR chap who was showing me around it as he had just offloaded it from the lorry , that he knew what engine was in it Embarassed

Even better that it must have been a TDV8. Thumbs Up

It had Autobiography written everywhere inside. Perhaps they need to add TDV8 inside as well Rolling Eyes TDV6 - gone

Yes, just TDV8 or 5.0SC. Viewise, I'll let you know if we get one with Monza Pimento..... I've not been brave enough to stray from Monaco! We've had a couple of customers (local guys) who want a SC in Santorinin with Pimento, therefore if we manage to get one for them then you can pop down and see it before it goes.

Tim, I thought you saw the Epsom (yes Epsom!) RRS TDV6 Autobiography that we had at the dealership? I had to call SV to confirm that it was genuine as I wasn't aware of any Autobiography treatment to RRS. They did confirm that they had 'autobiographied' a handful (7 from memory) and that most were due to specific colour combinations being requested. Ours was Epsom (as the customer didn't like Gallway) with Aspen leather which was piped in ivory.

Josh, I'm guessing that it wasn't our dealership..... it must have been the tea boy!

We now have one in the showroom in Santorini with Monaco with the DVD, TV etc which started this thread. Unfortunately we are struggling to secure funding for the customer on it therefore it is available to buy!

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Ive always been a fan of black and red combo. Alot of mates/family own cars in this combo (E46 M3/ E92 M3/ Audi RS4/M5) BUT all the photos ive seen of it make it look slightly pinkish on the autobiography. Might just have to take the plunge.

Just wish there was any better news of the new TDV8. Im going to be Censored off if i order one and it turns up days before a new one is announced! WINNER - 2008 Best All New Photograph

Actually, the E46 M3 combo of Sterling Grey and Imola Red was always a good one, you're right... it doesn't look bad on the RRS, but personally reminds of something Kahn would do. A bit of a shock to see it coming out of the LR factory Wink
