As a big kid I'm always "planning" my next motor even though the realistic chance for the next couple of years is pretty unlikely (construction industry n'all)

so I'm looking at 2012 cars with a mind I will be looking at these in 2 or so years as a used example...

Now I thought I had reached a shortlist of either an A/B (sticking with the "it'll hold it's value better while looking good") or an Overfinch... but trolling through the bay this morninig I've fallen in love with this... (Damn you Martin!!)

Very nice lose the quilted leather inside and that's a lovely looking car.
Wheels and body kit suit each other and the colour coded front bumper is spot on IMO. Just as long as it's not got one of their silly 'mid' boot spoilers  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I love that, including the leather.

Actually, where is Martin not seen him on here since when SP was slagging Kahn off.
Unlike him to miss the opportunity to show off what is undeniably a lovely example of their work

Did he go and sort SP out 'mano et mano' and is now doing time  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Just a little heads up on your 'it'll hold its value better' comment, CAP (Car auction prices) have recognised Overfinch as a Range Rover aftermarket tuner and the residual values of Overfinch cars they have calculated to be on average, 23% above that of a standard used Range Rover.

These figures are used by most finance houses who work on the residual value of a car in say, 3 years.

This should give you some peace of mind if you do decide to purchase an Overfinch rather than an Autobiography model as our parts are deemed to add value rather than devalue the car.

Hi sorry Jordan I wasn't meaning to be disrespectful, I probably should have worded it better, what I meant was the main dealers would probably offer more for a LR spec'd car than an aftermarket spec'd car when the next trade in was due.. (I know my local dealer would hammer me, they've done it before ) RRS gone

no offence taken AWD I'm just pointing out that compared to other competitors in the aftermarket range rover tuning arena, I believe we are the only ones to have CAP certification when it comes to residual values on our cars

An interesting comment Jordan and well worth knowing  RRS 2010
