On checking the classifieds at Pistoheads I noticed several adverts from a car dealer suggesting this:

"The launch date of the NEW Range Rover Sport TDV8 is the 29th December 2006. We have cars available for January 2007 and can offer you one of the first production cars". ...

Getting worried as commited to several things due to working on collecting car on the 13th Dec 06 (told by dealer, build Nov, delivery 13th Dec 06).

Anybody know anything different?

I'm not sure we've actually heard an "official" release date for the TDV8 yet. I know Kam is working on providing a couple, which I thought were for late Nov/early Dec delivery. I may be wrong though...

I thought it was January

I have been told that only the press cars will be registered in 2006.
Earliest normal cars will be delivered is 2nd week in Jan - based upon a December build slot. RRS TDV8 HSE - Hybrid TV - Sunroof - Adaptive Front Headlights - Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 system

BMW GT

My car will be built on the 17th Nov and collected sometime around 25-30th Nov or maybe in early Dec if there are any quality issues that need addressing. I think I will be one of the first people to take delivery of the TDV8. Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel

Oh and my dealer telephoned me yesterday to say that he had test driven the RRS TD V8 in Spain, at the Freelander launch, and that he is still having wet dreams about just how good it is! The power and noise the engine produces is apparently incredible. Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel

Nearly as good as a SUPERCHARGED

I agree. The supercharged is the better car I just can't live with those excessive depreciation and fuel costs. Driving - TDV8 HSE in Stornaway / Ebony / Brunel

According to What Car? the S/C actually holds it's value better than TDv6's, I have no idea how they came to this conclusion...... like they also now list the Overfinch RRS S/C at £102000 and as an LR product in their listings 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I was stuck beside a FFRR S/C tonight on a roundabout on the A43 tonight. Thankfully he gracefully moved over to allow me past shortly after. I think I fooled him into thinking I was driving a S/C
OR maybe he couldn't afford the fuel  TDV6 - gone
