Australia 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White
RRS Observations of the UK

Well after 3 weeks back in old blighty, and many a RRS sighting, noted some unusual haunts of the species:

West country - Rimini red Vesuvius Orange every where, not only on RRS, but also slight variations on Disco's and full fat Range Rovers

Beaconsfield - Within a 24 hour period i saw 3 Bonatti Greys Arctic Frost Beaconsfield types always short on the imagination Wink great colour, but not when flocking in such a small area and no other sub species to be seen.

Java Black just about everywhere from Heathrow in the North, to Looe in the South West.

Dartmoor saw a very rare species, a Giverney Green.. and the odd Silver

So as a casual observer, it seems Java Black is the colour of choice in the UK..not unless you live in Beaconsfield of course, where you just copy your neighbour Mr. Green

Cheers

Nope sportsman, did not see one Buckingam in the UK, but a friend at work has one down in Sunny Sydney... so would have noticed. The Giverney was hard to spot, the colour in bright sun is hard to distinguish with the silver (colour blind i suspect, or a different metallic green possibly) Cool Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I quite like giverny green, it suits the RRS, but for the off roading and country look more, it wouldn't look as good on a blinged up RRS. Silver RRSs are as common as Censored round here. I've also noticed rimini reds have become a lot more common recently. 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE

Java seems to be the flavour in Sydney, seen a few Silvers ones like my own.. Bonatti is my favourite.. Rimini would be nice, but i do not think the Ozzie dealers would order them in on the hope of someone buying it, bit conservative on their colours, so a Rimini would be a long wait.. and pretty rare Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

If you like to spend your time spotting RRSport's, don't bother going to sunny Spain. In the three and a half weeks I have just spent over there I only saw four other Sports.

One Java Black HSE as I crossed the border from France into Spain, another Java Black in Barcelona - around the Nou Camp stadium area. I saw a Bonnatti Grey HSE in Salou / La Paneda and a silver HSE in Vilanova.

Has anyone ever seen an Artic Frost Sport on the road? Or is my motor unique? Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Still not a huge fan of Giverny, but I did see an Arctic Frost in one of the LHR business car parks yesterday - first I'd seen in the flesh. Looked v smart.
