Ordering and info?

I'm not a fan of red but those pics and the photo of a Rimini Red 5 door out on the roads (pic on D3 forums) it looks really good - I see in my "local" daily paper here that Mrs Beckham is expecting Baby Beckham No4 - I wonder if she has been commenting on the availability of child seats etc for the Becks Family Special Edition. The more photos I see of the car the more I like it, despite comments I made about Mrs B's involvement I'm sure I could live with an Evoque easily. Just hope that it is narrow enough to fit through a standard garage door.............................. especially after the attempted theft of my FFRR from my drive I will have to start clearing out the garage to get any new car in for security reasons.

FFT - not sure that Rimini Red is an option - the LR site shows Firenze Red (and that is the colour in my photos in this thread).

I'm on the list for a Baltic Blue 5dr. I hope to see the car in flesh, next week in Brussels Motor Show.

To James @ Lookers PR - do you have any more timing info re prices, customer spec'ing? Also, [when] are dealers likely to get showroom models? Silly question (?) time - all the panels on the two cars at the boat show appeared to be plastic - is this something new that will be on final versions or was it just for these demos ? What is the difference between the Barolo and Santorini blacks? Thanks.

Barolo is a Red wine, which means the Barolo Black seems to have a deep Red tint in it. To the naked eye you wouldn't know any different but when the light is right you can see the Red. Well that's according to people who own them. At present it's only available on the Autobiography Black FFRR, which Looks very very good. But you will need very good eyesight to see it in pictures.
Santorini is just the normal black which you get on all Land Rovers - FL2, Disco, Sport, FFRR. If I had the choice I would get the Barolo

Somebody else (James at LPR as you said) may be more of a help. Also I suspect Firenze Red isn't much different than Rimini, the colour names change but the actual colours aren't a huge amount different. Although It does look good.

thanks - i have to say that the firenze red looked goodat the boat show.

Sorry for the late reply but on holls at the moment.

Dealers should have prices and full specs within the next 3-4 weeks with customer brochures being available in March. On sale date is 8th Sep but LR hope to have dealers demonstrators to them in July/Aug. Colours as per Royale's post, and will look into comment re plastic. IIRC front wings are plastic but not 100% sure (will check when off from holls).

Thanks James - hope you are having a nice time (and given the 'post time' you are either quite far away, not sleeping well or staying up too late!)

By what date will deposit makers have to make their initial choices and what date will be final lock-in of spec picked?

Staying up too late!

When the dealers have the specs and prices in their hands it would be a good time to get a final spec together. Then depending on the dealers initial allocation you have an opportunity to be in the right position for an early build slot. It is worth considering that although there may be others ahead of you in the queue, some may hold back initially due to finances or perhaps wanting to drive one first, meaning that you would have the chance to move up the list.
