Can anyone confirm the additional standard spec that would come with a 2011 autobiography compared to an se?

I was looking for a 4.4 tdv8 se but a couple of highish mileage ab's (84 and 110k) are in my price range.

One of them lists green tinted glass as a feature I presume this just means 'normal' glass.

Hi

According to my 2010/11 FF sales brochure the AB has (above the VSE spec) full leather facia topper, leather door cards, sill tread plates with AB logo, luxury mat set, and some badging.

These extras don't seem to amount to much so am wondering if my catalogue is not the full picture. No mention of glass so am assuming its just the normal stuff. I'd make sure it's factory glass and not an after market add-on.  405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

89 Classic Cairngorm Brown

Also leather headlining and leather dash. But apart from that not too much. Personally would go for a lower mileage vse There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thought my list above was a bit light. have dug out a 2011 FF brochure and the list also adds dual view touch screen (a lot of VSE's also have these anyway) design pack including nobel finish grille and splitter bar, adaptive headlights and style 17 wheels so actually might be worth a look.

Reclining rear seats, climatic rear seats, "aircraft style" rear headrests, memory on pass seat, leather side cheeks to both centre console & knee panels, leather A,B & C pillar trims

They are a much nicer place to sir

According to my LR info theclimatic reclining rear seats, wing rest etc we're optional. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Ahh, didn't know they were an option sir... Just been replacing the parts in mine and thought it was all standard

Lucky boy. I remember reading somewhere they were over £3k.!!

Have you got the leather headlining too? 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

I've been looking at 2011MY ABs / SEs and found the original LR specification/price list helpful. You can view it here

Seawolf - thats very interesting thanks.

£735.00 for reclining rear seats and wing headrests seems cheap to me compared to the cost of other options. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Yes i do sir

Thanks for the replies and thanks for the list seawolf it is useful.

Up until now I had been hoping for rear screens but the seem rare on 2010 and 2011 models and every post about them pretty much says that they are a waste of time. The kids will be but they will have to get over it.

The AB Black I have has all of the above and the steering wheel is wood/leather, the leather headlining is really good and having so much leather in it is very easy to clean when my 3 dogs get muddy and shake all over it, the reclining rear seats are good for the kids on long journeys and the rear screens stop they moaning and wanting to stop at every service station. Cooled seats which the SE has are great in the summer but make you feel like you have p!ssed yourself. Also you have rear headrests that as said before are wing back and are great with the seats reclined to keep your head in place and they are the best headrests I have seen, shame you can't have them in the front lol. You also get rear lumber support and lit vanity mirrors that pop out of the roof and you can control the front seat from the back to give you more room as a VIP.
Oh and the rear locking diff which comes in handy off road
