Saw My First Evoque On Road Today For 2 Months!!

Went on a trip to Guildford today & just as I was turning off the A3 into the town one pulled onto the A3 from the slip road just before & blow me down if it wasn't ni-on the same spec as I have ordered - Firenze Red Dynamic 5 door = very nice. Was on a private plate, anyone on here?

Was the first Evoque I have seen on the roads for 2 Months!!

Not mine, but I think I seen the same one in Weybridge yesterday. I have seen 5 in Weybridge now (2 white, 1 black, 1 Sand and the Firenze) and 2 in Central London (white) - and none anywhere else (even covering a round trip to Scotland over Christmas!)

Ordered June 11, Built - 24th November - Delivered - 7th Dec - NO DELAYS

I think I've still only ever seen 5 Evoques outside of a Dealer Showroom!

The first being one of those 'disguised' one's in yellow & black a year ago at the Channel Tunnel, the first private one being a Fuji on the M40 last September or so and then a Fuji in London in December. Since taking delivery of mine I've seen one Orkney Prestige in High Wycombe, Bucks and another Fuji Prestige in Beaconsfield, Bucks.

Umm I wonder if that was mine on it's way home from London to Scotland on 10th Sept or 2 weeks later when it did the trip again!

In the last 4 months I have seen exactly 1 Evoque on the road and a couple in the local LR dealership here as I whizzed passed the showroom window on the Dubai metro

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.

Could well have been! It looked fantastic and really brought home to me how much I like the looks of the car.

RE: Saw My First Evoque On Road Today For 2 Months!!

Strange thing is the the very first Evoque I saw on the roads was just after launch date & that too was a Firenze Dynamic....I have a feeling all along that someone upstairs was always telling me which colour & spec I should opt for.Rolling Eyes

In total I have seen 4 complete Evoques on the road - 2 Firenze Dynamics, 2 Fuji White's but can't think of the spec but pretty sure they wer not Dynamics. I say 4 as when we went up the M1 in November on the way to the Luton Hoo LR Experience my brother-in-law saw one going the way & all I saw was a bit of the rear end in my mirror!

Even here probably less than 5 miles from Gaydon and JLR's HQ they are pretty rare - there are two close to me - one 3 door Pure - looks standard aside from a Pano roof and a 5 door Pure with a pano roof and style 4 wheels - both Fuji white (do they make them in any other colour?:shockSmile.

Pre-launch they were actually more common around here - many with no badges and cammo colour schemes.

I think that whilst there are a lot on order and probably less delivered right now it is still a premium priced product and there are lots of adequate, less expensive alternatives that will do the same job - without the iconic style.

RE: Saw My First Evoque On Road Today For 2 Months!!

Well we have just been up to the Lakes for the weekend and didn't see a single one all weekend, not one on the motorway going and coming back! There were a few Pimped RRS Supercharged running about Bowness though. I like the fact there aren't too many aboutVery Happy
