Colours Removed!

Just had an Exterior colour chart leaflet sent to me from LR giving the available and removed colours (due to the earthquake in Japan). Here is a list of the REMOVED colours:
Baltic Blue
Barolo Black
Colima Lime
Firenze Red
Havana
Kosrae Green
Mauritius Blue
Santorini Black (replaced with Sumatra Black)
Stornoway Grey (replaced with Orkney Grey)

WOW............. so really we are left with a pretty poor colour choice! Sad

Got car 9th Dec 11
REJECTED car 9th Jan 12 - paint runs down doors & seals one side, obvious bad re-spray before delivery! Big Cry
New car arrived 31st March 12 Very Happy

Have you checked the postmark date?
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.

RE: Colours Removed!

Tim, could you ask LPR Dealers & I'll do same with my dealers & if anyone else has a decent relationship perhaps you could ask your dealers this too....suggest you email them the link to the 'thread' & let's see if this is definitely the case....if it is my 2nd Evoque's proposed spec is going to have to change yet again as I was leaning towards Firenze Red....now that my wife has 'stolen' my Fuji SD4 for herself!!! Very Happy

RE: Colours Removed!

The flyer you have been sent is out of date. This leaflet was circulated a week or so after the disaster in Japan, however Firenze Red was fairly quickly reintroduced for instance.

It sounds like they are still carrying out instructions to put them with brochures.

I will let my marketing contact at LR know.
