RE: New FFRR review

Saw my first one today in Lookers Park Royal PDI bay. Causeway Grey with full ball on black interior. 21" shadow and diamond turned wheels (£600 each with out rubber on them) it is an Autobiography SDv8 Executive ( read 4 seater) and already had 90 miles on the odo! At £107,000 list it is rather pricey but it is a stunning car and worth every penny - I'm spending next Monday driving them at Gleneagles Hotel - best Christmas present I will get this year!

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.

Had a bit of a play around. That's the spec sorted just need the cash. Love the colour Antilles blue (£6000 one of the cheaper colours)

Configurator is still useless though, the spec that is in the link above doesn't show that I have spec'ed executive class seating, centre cooler in the rear and the 1700w meridian sound system (£4000)

You're spending that much and you only want the weedy engine?

RE: New FFRR review

Some of the reviews reckon this is the best engine for performance, economy etc, has the same power as the outgoing TDV8. With this engine the car benefits from the full 420kg weight loss compared to 230kg with the SDV8.

In reality if I had that kind of cash and heard the throb of the SDV8, that would swing it.

Having just had my annual pension statement and rights, I will be looking at a lottery win or working another 10 years if I am to ever afford one!

RE: New FFRR review

Next to an Evoque yes it is huge, but next to the last generation it is only a couple of cms longer and looks a lot wider but it isn't. I need a Euromillions win though to afford one, I didn't for the last FFRR.
