Scotland 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black
My Newish Sport - DIY Autobiography

After suffering the fuel costs of a S/C Range Rover Sport I finally sold up a few months back and started the hunt for a 10MY. A House move, wedding, honeymoon and a busy schedule meant the process took longer than expected.

I got on the case around a month ago and must have bid of 7 10MY cars now, from 3.0 - 5.0 S/C they were all going for crazy money as dealers started to stock pile good stock for the winter. In the end I got a car from a LR dealer of all places with a discount on their asking price which works out a little under trade money (to say i was surprised and chuffed would be an understatement)

Quite chuffed with the car its a 59 3.0 HSE, with Ivory Leather and a few options so Its nothing fancy at the moment, few pics below, got a few things planned after the winter to smarten it up , No Revere stick on bits however Laughing been collecting Autobiography parts.

First thing to change was the std side vents....... Tints, Side Boards, remap and front grill on the way shortly. Thumbs Up

Nice drive - needs washing though Smile The side vents look very nice as well and match well with the door handles. It has been a while since I saw an RRS without tinted windows, the interior looks very spacious Thumbs Up Vadim A.

Where did you get your side grills from mate?

I've seen that the side vents for a white MY10 are different - was considering changing my front grille and sides. Will keep an eye on your progress to see what I do. MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports
