I have been lurking on here for a while, asking the occasional inane question, just trying to get a feel for the RRS experience.

Until today I had owned a 2013 RR Evoque Dynamic Lux 2.2d, a car I loved but felt it was a little small and slightly underpowered. So I traded her in at Inchcape Southampton for an RRS.

My RRS is a 4.4ltr V8 diesel Autobiography. She is approx 20 months old with 13k on the clock and most importantly is not one of the 50 shades of grey that most modern LR vehicle seem to be (inc my old Evoque). She is Aintree Green with charcoal seats with light (ivory?) door tops, dash and wheel centre. This hopefully is a long term vehicle......

Let the RRS experience begin

Nice to see a different colour!

Enjoy 👍🏻

Nice unusual colour. One I'd be happy with in place of my grey one.

It'll be a very different drive to your old Evoque. Hopefully you'll have good luck with it.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Aintree Green is cool

Wow, what a HUGE upgrade!

Well done for holding out for one in Full Colour too, especially such a rare and classic, Land Rover specific, colour as (Aintree) Green

What a lovely colour. Can we have some more photos please inside & out.

Love the colour. I had a 2012 evoque for 3 years as a company vehicle in green then changed jobs and bought the RRS.

Just be warned, after 23 years and some hefty off road use metallic dark green can loose its sparkle..... this was Epsom Green Metallic, now Epsom Green in fashionable Satin or Matte finish with added battle scars, pine needle, gorse and tree branch stub indents it looks great wet or muddy though. I don’t expect we will see many 23 year old RRS’s with this finish in a few years time!

2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Looks great all the same  A Fatty owner, just dropping by

Agreed

Thank you every one, I am loving the car, the colour is in my opinion superb. I am trying to work out the toys, having great fun with ACC expecially it pulling me to a stop and then moving on again.

Still waiting for in control to be activated by the dealer, they say there are problems with LR activating them.

Most of all looking forward to getting my personal plates on it.
