Is the different roof colour not available on the pure? I thought it was

Doesn't look like it, the website only shows two options, i.e. either with or without the panoramic roof.

The webbuilder shows the coloured roof as available on the Pure - but I know that does not guarantee it is actually available

The webbuilder just shows either the 'solid' body coloured roof or the panoramic roof - no options for a contrast colour unfortunately.

Permanent mud look.

Does LR offer some sort of colour shield protection. After reading the responses I may just stick with my original Fuji white. As said if scratched shows up less due to the primer (on our current car 'Kuga' which has black metallic colour where there are scratches or marks at the front the white primer is noticeable - will not get black again).

I also now agree that the panoramic roof in black is a good enough substitute for not having the full option of another solid roof cover on the Pure model.

red cars are the kiss of death at the moment from a sale perspective, if you are interested in resale value i would suggest steering clear of red and green.

As someone who is considering a Red car with a black roof - of all combo's I've seen so far it’s the one that best suits the car (IMO) and makes the car look like no other - is that comment based on a professional or a private opinion (or stats) - I would just like to be in possession of all the facts if I decide to change my order.

I run a number of businesses focus around the automotive industry, however I have no hard facts to hand to back up my statement above. I would put my house on the fact that you would be not offer the same price on part ex (in todays market) of a Red RRE as you would to an identical car in white

If you like the colour combo then go for it, its you who has to drive it after all, Personally I wouldn’t buy a red car but if we all drove black range rovers the world would be a very boring place.

Really ? I didn't think that would apply to certain cars that look their best in red - I haven't noticed any drop in Ferrari prices or difficulty in selling them when they are red........

x5pea many thanks for your response......

I suppose the reason I changed my mind regarding the colour was before I saw the car in the flesh and had just seen pictures of it I was thinking - "mini Range Rover", when I saw it in the flesh I thought "sports car". I, probably like you, would have never (ever) considered a Red car before - but when I saw it the red / black colour combo I just thought WOW.
