Long wheel base Evoque

Was driving past LR's HQ at Gaydon today and saw two Evoques in the factory prototype camo colours that were clearly long wheel base versions... Signature head-lights/obvious Evoque glass lines/squashed roof profile - Evoques for definite.

They were moving slowly around the island outside the main site entrance - it looked like both the rear passenger doors and rear quarter panels were longer than the current production car - was nicely done/good proportions looked 'right'.

Yep, certainly could have been - based on Evoque platform, it looked identical to an Evoque - same width/height/roof profile but with a longer rear quarter panel - same rear lights as well.

RE: Long wheel base Evoque

Got followed by one from Gaydon village to BMHC this morning........... Seems to be quite a bit taller than the Evoque so I wonder what sort of transmission they will have?
Also on the M40 two new RRS in full grey,white and black arctic camouflage.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
