Kaikura(??) Stone - XFullFatTim - 28-10-2014 05:06pm
Just arrived in London but I made my usual stop off at Gaydon and came off the motorway behind a transporter with 2 or 3 Kaikura Stone Evoques on it. Very nice colour in the sunshine we had this afternoon, that suits Evoque well - looks like a pale version of Nara Bronze in the flesh and sunshine - would look great with an Arabica or Tan interior I would imagine.
I also got overtaken on the M40, and then I followed it, by a lightly disguised F Type Jaguar Coupe of some form - have heard from sources that there maybe a smaller engined variant under developement. It may have been the SVR version but had a very quiet exhaust system and no obvious additional spoilering, could F Type be getting the Ingenium engines too? The one I saw had the Yellow Caliper brakes which I think are the Ceramic brakes of the F Type R. As I left the BHMC I was followed out and as far as the Northbound onramp to the M40 buy a very heavily camoflaged but still recognisable new Jaguar XE and also spotted on the A40 heading into London what looking like a high rise Evoque rear end, but with Land Rover instead of Range Rover badging across the tailgate, non Evoque or RRS/FFRR tail lights and the brushed aluminium scuff plate at the back - it was in Firenze Red and 3 cars in front of me coming into Park Royal - it continued into town. I suspect it may have been an undisguised Discovery Sport, it certainly was not either and Evoque or an RRS2.

Tim, I read they are testing out the AWD version, it's supposed to have a different bonnet arrangement.

Possibly old news to you all but it sounds intriguing re the 3 cylinder options ...(I digress from the original topic I know!).
