Got our first FFRR when we turned thirty and had kids, the wife's Merc SLA had to make way.

With three little ones, I can see us remaining FFRR owners for a long time. __________________

I think it was letters-numbers then in the mid 50's it changed to numbers-letters. 2024 P550e Autobiography

Letters followed by numbers then, as said, numbers followed by letters. 1963 saw 'A' prefix followed by numbers then letters .
BTW if I survive till then I'll be 79 next Saturday. Still do my own repairs and servicing.  John

I'm 48............................I'm not old, I'm 'Retro'

My first FF but 8th 4x4 this consists of 5 Discovery's, an L200 Animal (nasty), an X5 and now the FF and I think I'm sticking with the FF for the foreseeable future until it gets upgraded for a newer one.......... Semper in merda sumus, solum altum variat !!

Current: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE
Last one: 2003 3.0 TD6 Vogue

If you're retro, I'll be post vintage with 63 summers to look back at.

Concerning the letter number question, my post vintage cars all have the letters before the numbers.

Oh and weegie keep up the goid work and enjoy 79

48 now had my first RR in 1986 when i was 19 a three door refurbed 73 then numerous others through my 20's and 30's classics vogues 3.5 and 3.9 a few manual but mainly auto and finally a 4.0 then 4.2 lse then barren a few years till 3yrs ago and l322 now the silver flyer which is amazing and surprises a few  _____________________________________________________

Always knew I would get a R.rover one day but I was more into going a bit faster in my younger years.I do however remember the first time I saw a l322 and I said one day I will get one of them.Then 3 years ago I went and bought one and loved it ,then again maybe it is my age in my mid 40s.

Got my first full fat when we were expecting our first child; I was 36. Just upgraded to an L405 at the ripe old age of 43. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

53 and the only RR ON THE CAR PARK ATWORK OUT OF 1500 staff 😁

The big five o next week so feeling a bit of an old fart now.

Didn't discover LR till I was 42 so been through series II, Defender, several Disco 1,s , a Disco 2, a classic and for 4 years an L322. Next on the list is the 2011 5.0 S/C 2002 Vogue 4.4 V8
1995 Disco 1 300tdi

I honestly thought i was too young for the FF.
Having read a lot of the threads on here, i feel the opposite now.

Im 49 later this year and work as a welder/pipefitter for my crime.

Ive always had a soft spot for rovers and in my younger years i had 4 Rover SD1's.
The last one was a black v8 Vanden Plas EFi which everyone thought was the mayors car.

The first 4x4 i owned was a 7 seater Izuzu Trooper
until a double decker bus put it to rest.

Had a 4L p38 which i was reluctant to let go for a deisel TD5 Disco.
Went the wrong way buying that, should have just bought a FF 6 years ago
but i still own it, theres something about it , ive come to love.

Im also building a ground up defender challenge truck fitted with a Rover 4.6 v8

Also run a Cagiva V-Raptor 1000cc V-twin sports tourer
Looks and sounds and goes like a Ducati monster.

In reality a bit of an oldie petrol head - adrenaline junkie
