New model FFRR

A lovely brand new model daddy RR past me today on trade plates on the M6 Toll north bound. I was doing 90mph and it blasted past me. Deep red metallic it was. And absolutely gorgeous . I want one

Got to drive a new FFRR on and off road today. What an awesome vehicle with some amazing technology.

My spies have been working overtime and I have a report that if you want to "spot" the new Rangie and live near Watford then there is an event on this weekend at "The Grove" near Watford. My spies tell me they spotted something like 20 of them being delivered there ready for the invite only test drive event like the Evoque's Unleashed events. My guess is that they will be there until Monday. I am informed that The Grove is a "public" location so get your digicams charged up and get along to the hotel!

The Grove is a posh hotel and golf course and quite accessible. I might just have to nip across and take a peek!?...............and nip across I did.

Eventhough I didn't have an invite, those with orders in already to come drive prod poke check out options change mind on colour options etc., they were still more than happy for me to look around.

Sat in an autobiography example. A nice bit of kit and a real feel of quality. Would have to be a lottery winner to think about chucking that sort of money at it though. It's not perfect and I'm certain the same sorts of criticisms will be levelled at this model as we have chucked at the Evoque , Infotainment is the first thing that comes to mind. At least there won't be mutterings about a lack of spare!.......but on the downside, hardly impressed by the boot size!

The offroading part was over High Wycombe way so you may some around there come Sunday.

Oh and my sons's face was a picture when they told him what they had to do with these preproduction models once they'd finished with them!

I saw one of the new FF RR's at a private house just outside Burford yesterday.
It was clearly very well used as it was filthy! lol
First time I've seen one in the flesh out of the disguises they wore before.

I spotted one today on holland park avenue - dark burgundy - maybe Barolo but seemed lighter. Very nice but didn't quite have the same impact of seeing the Evoque which to me still looks like a concept car on the road

No doubt there will be one on Zara's drive in the not too distant future, probably in a colour that they will remove from the order list straight after.
