LR are using the same basic colourways in the SVR as the core car - Black, light grey, red, mid-brown; the ones that are missing are dark grey, lime green, dark brown and beige (I use the colours rather than the fancy names). I can imagine that some of those are not seen as fitting the sporting image of the car in the same way wood trim probably is not but I would certainly like to see dark grey in there.

Blue on the outside and dark grey on the inside go well together (IMHO opinion, of course) - this is my 911 turbo.

I like seats with the cooling/ventilation on the SVR.

Not willing to compromise that as it get's quite hot here, and entering a car that had been on the sun for some time, it feels like the seat heating is on.

Yes, but much of what makes the SVR what it is compared to an Autobiography its lightness. Solar attenuating glass and remote heat/cool is still avaialble too.

ETA: Personally, I would choose Ebony/Ebony over Ebony/Lunar as, to me, black with grey looks like it was meant to be all the same colour but used two different off-coloured batches of materials. Sorry. 

Whats all this talk about an SVR bespoke division. Tell me more.................

SVR comes from the Special Vehicle Operations division, and part of their remit is to provide bespoke personalisation.

See http://www.landrover.co.uk/special-vehicle...icles.html 

Sally, Mark,
I've sent you both a PM with my personal contact details, so feel free to drop me a line

Dave

So Phil, what colour interior are you going for? I know you said black/black but you hinted you were in discussion for something else. I take your point that black/lunar might look like mis-matched interiors.

It would be good to have clarification on the HUD option as well - can't understand why, if it's available in other markets, it's not here. Mark

Surely if the Special Vehicle Operations division has the ability to provide bespoke personalisation you should have the choice to make your SVR unique with your own colour choices for interior and exterior like other manufactures of top end vehicles do .

I can see we're in for a surprise, orange leather like a Lambo??

Other manufacturers do offer personalisation departments. On various factory visits I've been on, they've proudly displayed their customisation lounges, all big sofas and "lifestyle" images on the walls. In truth, it's mainly a case of plundering the long options lists and taking as much money off the customer without them realising as you can. I know (though have no experience of) that companies like Rolls Royce will do pretty much anything you want but they are not in the business of turning out a car every 97 seconds as they were in Solihull when I visited.

I know, incidentally, of one Ferrari buyer who had a highly customised car, didn't like it when it arrived and walked away from a £50k deposit leaving the dealer to work out how to sell it on.

It will be interesting to see what customisation is offered but it always seems to come at a price and increased lead time. Porsche, for example, offer "Paint to Sample" which is not so expensive but there are build periods when, for whatever reason, it is not available.

I'm probably happy enough with black/black and black/cirrus but it would have been good to have a wider choice of interior options. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

Oh, orange and purple? There's an idea....

(Although, I have wondered whether Vesuvius Orange would work) 

Well, that's my dealer deposit paid, and apparently they've notified HQ also.

One question though, when looking at the online configurator, both wheel options are silver only. I quite like the idea of a dark grey SVR, with black roof, black vents and black wheels. When quizzed, the dealer said that they were unable to help, as they do not deal with the actual order, but I may be better having the wheels re-coloured after purchase.

Is this correct?
