Hi,

So....the HSE Black will be three years old on 1/3/16 therefore it's time to start looking for the replacement. After some serious research and pondering the "loaded HSE" v "AB" conundrum, today I fell into the trap of visiting our local Stealers to pick-up SWMBO from having her D4 HSE serviced...and it looks like the decision has been made!!!

Order now locked on:-

16MY (maybe 16.5MY) 3.0 SDV6 AB
Kaikoura Stone (now Aruba Silver)
Ebony/Ebony
21" Style 505's (now 21" 507's - not Diamond Turned)
Adaptive bi-Xenons
Fixed pano with blind
Santorini roof
Large washer bottle
2nd sun visor
Full size spare
Remote park heat
Solar attenuating windscreen
Privacy glass
HUD
Lane departure/ road sign recognition
Dimming mirrors
Load rail system
Surround cameras
Service pack
W & T insurance

Just waiting to get the call to get a Jan16 build slot for Feb delivery to Stealer and 1/3/16 on the road.

Your thoughts?

Very nice

I'd go with the opening Pano roof, well worth it IMO. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

Hi,

Told my dealer I was willing to delay to get 16.5MY but he says they have no news of it yet.

My mate is the sales manager so I know he's not b*****iting me.

I've also told him mine can go in early if he has a buyer as I can use the Defender or SWMBO's D4 for a while.

The surround cameras are much better now and seem genuinely useful. We find it easy to park using them and the dipping mirrors. MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.
