Please tell me you are not joining BC and his crew, or even worse Muddy and the the milk floats AKA the Jap Crap brigade In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

^^^^^^ was a lovely example and im glad he brought it Rob  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

2013 SDV6 HSE Black Edition- Orkney Grey with Ebony & Ivory. LR Facelift RAI, Genuine G4 Expedition Rack, 4x Warn SBD-160 Spotlights, Warn 9.5XPS Winch, Mantec Underbody Protection and Sump Guard, Full Easy Lift Suspension Module, LR Light Guards, Light Force HTX230 Hybrid spotlights, 18” Compomotive PD1881 on 265/65/18 BF Goodrich KO2, ARB fridge, TuffTrek awning 😎

Was this just a bit of a bargain or have they dropped in price a lot in the past 12 months? Paid nearly this much for my MY10 with more miles!
Be looking for a rotary knob/electric tailgate facelift for myself shortly. From MY12 isn't it?
Apologies for slight thread hijack!

I priced it to sell and to someone on the forum. Auto Trader are slightly dearer but I didn't want the hassle Have a look on Auto Trader for Private sale 2012 with 55K to see what I mean....12 months is a long time
I'll still be lurking on here so you won't get rid of me that easily
Still got my old Classic to get my "fix"
I'll post a picture of the new car when it arrives. It's not Japanese per se and its not a hybrid but its incredibly cheap motoring for a brand new car through a Friends and Family scheme
It will also give me some time to contemplate the next LR purchase e.g. a Sport 2 or Velar in a couple of years, preferably a plug in jobby but I reckon they'll be out of my price range
I'll miss the Sport but will see it from time to time
What is really weird is it will be 100yards down the road from my old 1952 80" that I sold to a mate of Wayne’s in 1997  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Might have to change your name to RRSSDV6 now

Nice one bet you’ll miss that v8 noise though

It was nice to meet you again Rob and good to do the deal so amicably. I can't promise to keep the Sport as clean as you have but it will be very well looked after and used as Land Rover intended.

I will miss it when it goes, yes. The SDV6 with the 8speed box is very smooth and goes very nicely but the TDV8 just shades it in in-gear acceleration, I think. The extra mpg the SDV6 brings will more than make up for it though  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Looks like you’ve settled on a great deal Wayne and with the miles you do, the additional fuel economy will be a bonus. Always nice to see well cared for cars changing hands within a forum
