United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Autobiography Black TDV8 Barolo Black
Bought an autobiography black

I've had a couple of ffrrs before, a p38 and then an early L322.
They got sold when my work required me to do more miles. I got fed up with filling up every 3 days Rolling Eyes

We bought the wife a new Evoque a few years back which sort of scratched my itch for another rangey, but at the end of the day it's her car not mine, so I started casually looking a month or so back.
Initially we started with ~10k 2007 V-SE's but couldn't find a good clean one with clean unworn seats.

I had a drive in a 2010 facelift tdv8 and that sold the later look. Things sort of snow balled and I realised I really wanted an autobiography.
I don't change cars very often so spending a bit more for what I really wanted raised my budget again.

So Friday I went to visit a fully loaded black edition with the colour interior I preferred, and after a good look over it a deal was done.

Hopefully the pics will upload.

It has sidesteps fitted which I will live with for a while. I like the look of the deployable ones, but like these ones too.

There are a few things I want to take care of, so have some searching to do and questions to ask Cool

Thanks guys.

Paul it is barolo black, as I believe all of the black editions were.

It looks black until you get it in the sunlight and then the metallic burgundy shows itself. Too many toys, not enough time

Same car as mine; same interior too. I've just fitted later wheels and deployable steps.

May I ask what miles and what kind of money it was? Just for idle comparison. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black

With the state of the roads around here at he moment they seem to be keeping some of the crap of the doors too.
I might invest in some deployable ones, but not just yet. Need to fix a few things first. Whistle Too many toys, not enough time
