Rimini Red - Very rare in OZ, common in the UK ??

a bit like an english cricket win Big Cry hacking back from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, a nice example of a Rimini red, with private plates, foot to the floor, to many red lights to catch up, of the traffic kind. The Rimini is quite rare in OZ, but must admit i saw loads in the UK last summer..sometimes i wished i waited 6 months for a Rimini....then again it has been 9 months of joy (well for me, it broke down on the wife .. Wink ) Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Tim, noticed when i was down in the West Country, in particular around the Dartmouth area, the majority of RRS i saw were Rimini's, yet in and around my home town in Bucks, mostly Java's or Bonatti's..must be a "local thing" Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

Rimini is an excellent colour - never regretted choosing that for the TDv6 and didn't hesitate to choose it again for the TDv8. Still fairly rare, but more people are catching on to its qualities ...... Razz RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

I'm pleased with mine, although to be fair, I didn't actually choose the colour, the dealer just happened to have it in stock when I was looking.

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Rimini Red

I prefer Rimini Red. Not just for the Range Rover Sport but for all of Land Rover's vehicles. I think it's an amazing colour and it suits the shape and style of a Land Rover more than words could describe.

You poor POMS can't win a trick can you?


My Mrs, who is a very non-car person, asked the dealer on Friday about Colours, and he suggested we look at Rimini Red, as it was a completely opposite colour to the Black that I have at the moment. He also mentioned that I could have a Rimini Red TDV8 landed in July, however it will have to have Alpaca seats, but my RRS will have to be a Kiddie Carrier.


I still want Zambezi Silver...


Zilch - if I get Red, you will be the third (after the Mrs and the Sales Person) Roses are Red, Violets are Blue. OSX Rocks, Homage to You.

Let's see, you win a game of Cricket Against us and I'll... Nah.


Trust me, if I get a TDV8 (never mind the colour), My Mrs will have to fight me for the keys, let alone anyone else.
