Curious if anyone here has heard of Land Rover accepting orders for a Sport SV with a different paint colour than on the configurator. I don't like the current offerings like black, marl grey, matte blue and red. I absolutely love my SVR in Bosphorus Grey and would like something like that or Carpathian. Or even an Edition 2 in Flux Silver like they did for Edition 1. I'm guessing they won't and they are keeping it bespoke and "exclusive" etc. But I can't spend that much on a vehicle with a colour that I'm lukewarm about and had to talk myself into. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey

They have the SV Bespoke Paint https://www.landrover.co.uk/special-vehicl...paint.html so presumably they'll do you a colour. But I bet they'll bend you over with the price! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

My L405 SV Autobiography LWB was painted Aston Martin China Grey by them when ordered new. It goes from the SV division to the ETO (Engineered To Order) division. The original owner turned up in his AM and they scanned it and said that'll be + £20K thank you very much.

Wrapping it might be cheaper?  2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

Plus a few other cars inbetween!

I think I saw a photo of yours, either on this site or another which made me wonder. It looks fantastic. £20K is definitely a lot and maybe I'd be ok with half that. But then you reach a point where it doesn't make a lot of difference in the big picture. Anyway will find out for sure at some point. I emailed two dealerships close to me with this question and neither one even replied. Which is just surprising, to ignore a potential customer with that amount to spend on a vehicle. The ones they have in stock aren't selling at all and you'd think they'd at least try pushing one of those at least. I took the lack of response as a "no".

Thanks for your info!

@2RRS Oh no... so sorry to hear you've had problems like that with the SDV8. It seems like there is some luck involved with Land Rovers. I've had them for 14 years now with no issues. Current SVR is 6 years old and the only thing that was bad was the hood peeling and yellowing over the exposed carbon which happened to most of them from 2018. But mechanically not a single issue. I'm always defending them and then you see real examples of owner nightmare experiences and it reminds you why so many people bring up the reliability factor. Anyway I hope they've sorted it all out for you. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey

Yes, I've been taking it on the chin since 2007, but wouldn't drive anything else. On the whole I'm more than happy reliability wise with the JLR brand. With the miles I've covered in JLR vehicles I would suggest any other luxury brand would have similar problems/expenses.

I'm with you. I've only had two Sports and briefly a Velar. But with the Sport I just love how it drives, the steering feel, braking, shifting etc. And it has a layer of sensible design throughout the whole thing. To me, very special and I don't get it from other cars I've owned or rented. Hard to explain but sum of the parts I guess.

I've tried to warm up to some other SUV's like the Cayenne, RSQ8, AMG GLE 63S, and I just can't get excited about them. Mostly design is the biggest factor. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey
