I have just got back from the dealer after ordering my new sport tdv6 hse in giverny green.

I got the last build slot before the £2500 price increase, so should arrive in July.

It should be a bit of a change from my Subaru Impreza STI that i currently drive! but can't wait.

congrats.. so you didnt go for Java Black then? like the majority of us!!?
Nice one getting in there before the price hike!
What spec have you gone for then. As you can read from my thread, i've just sold mine..

You'll like this forum im sure.. most of us are friendly enough, but as usual for most online forums, we have our fair share of as well.. (not mentioning any names.. ahem.. ).

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

Thanks for the replies, I went for a Sport because i need a big car for towing a caravan and i fancied something different from the Subaru(safe, luxurious and economical?)

I was considering a Porsche Cayenne but felt the interior was a let down compared to the Sport and could also not justify less than 20mpg(hence no v8/supercharged Sport)

The spec i have chosen is
TDV6 HSE in Giverny green(hopefully won't show the scratches)
Side steps
Tints
PTI
Flaps
Adaptive lights
(20 inch wheels to follow)

Glad to have found this site it seems a good one.

And Giverny is also a very rare colour so you will have to get used to folks asking if it is a special edition....... and it isn't bad at hiding the scratches too!
Have fun in it....... and welcome to the club. Which interior colours did you go for? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Simon, welcome on board. As already said above you'll hopefully find this site both informative as well as a good laugh. As Kam said, a lot of great people on here and one or two who are .....................

Tim in Scotland is, as far as I'm aware the only other one with Giverny but no doubt I'll get slapped down! Check his gallery or pics from 21st April meet

If you're adding 20's at a later date, why not add dynamic pack. JayMann has added it to his HSE TDV6 and it loooks to be worthwhile.

I should have spec'd it but now going to add Stormers and if you buy OE will cost more than the whole dynamic pack! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

ST, Can the full Dynamic Pack be added as a dealer fit extra now? Including all the electronics?

RE Giverny Green - mine was the only opne in Scotland until fairly recently..... but I know of at least one other and also on recent trips south I have seen a couple of others on the motorways. Jeffrey in California has one with Alpacca hides and takes it offroad a lot in Arizona 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

When I test-drove the RRS with and without dynamic pack, I thought the difference was amazing.
The Brembo brakes were so much more progressive and powerful, with very little in the way of nosedive compared with the non-dynamic version. The damping seemed better as well, and of course the car didn't "lean" as much as the non-dynamic version.
Doesn't the dynamic pack include the adaptive lights as well?
I would imagine that if it was possible, to dealer fit a complete dynamic pack would be far more expensive than the £3k(ish) that LR charge as an option.
