+3,

I’d go Carpathian, Tan Leather and Walnut trim 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

I’ve got a L405 Phev (July 2018) VSE in Corris grey with black pano roof and vintage tan interior, oh and privacy glass. I think it looks the dogs and would spec again if the need arises. Only things I might consider differently are as per the photos, black headlining rather than lighter coloured standard and piano black rather than standard ‘wood’.

Now that does sound very lovely

Could you share some photos please?

I have a 2019 Loire Blue car here with Vintage Tan interior at the moment and have to say i love the interior colour! Seems to be a bit of a Marmite colour judging by the comments I've heard this last week though...

I have a Bosphorous Grey/Vintage Tan 2018 AB ... I love the combination, particularly with black leather headlining

I had to have a Black/Black AB as a loaner for few days - felt so dull and less lux.

Highly recommend the Tan... IMHO

Does tan suffer from dye transfer like ivory does? Guessing it must do. It puts me off lighter leather.

Mine does suffer from dye transfer, i wear jeans all the time. But it wipes off really easily. The leather is such good quality that you don’t feel as though the finish is suffering from being wiped now and again

Cam-Tech-Craig that sounds like a great colour combo Do you have any snaps?

Thanks Gt3gooner that is a beautiful car! And I like the buddies, very much

And thanks LWR - I love it!

Popped to Land Rover Battersea to see a 5.0 in black with the 9012 wheels and shadow pack. It had ivory leather (which I didn't think I wanted again) but I have to say it looked very classy.

Freddy - I bought my car from LR Battersea. They treated me appallingly - delivered the car with a broken seat and refused to answer my correspondence. Another dealer stepped in and helped out. Read their google reviews. They really are that bad... and worse

Sorry to hear that but thanks for the tip.

To be clear I am ordering new - and went to see the car to see what I thought of the colour combination. No substitute for seeing these things in the flesh.

Funnily enough, when I was choosing my current FFRR I enquired at Battersea. Back then I didn't know if I wanted a 322 or 405 and asked to drive both. As a serial BMW owner I could pretty much choose a BMW without driving it, but as my first LR I had no idea how they drove or felt to be in. The chap couldn't get his head around that, and suggested I chose one and he would then allow me to drive it. So I went to a dealer near where I live (Nigel Ramsey at Milton Keynes) who got it immediately. I highly recommend Nigel by the way - a true enthusiast, gentleman and all round top bloke!

I am local to Lr battersea and this is my experience

Walk in enquiries are not followed up on
Sales person had limited knowledge of product on the phev
Service department "forgot" to wash my car 2 years running and I have had to clean the grease marks off the ivory interior

I used them for servicing as convenient but now I have a sva will be considering alternatives

Their a40 branch I found to be better. Bought new evolutions from them but for Ff hasn't been non local dealers

Stating the obvious, but the black interior is by far the most practical of them all, but although I wanted a black exterior would never choose black/black as think this is just too boring and the black interior makes the cabin very dreary. (although this seems to be the most popular choice looking at the used cars online?!)

I love my ivory interior with black carpets, grand black and the dark exterior - you must keep on top of it though, as blue jeans soon transfer to ivory leather seats and grubby hands soon mucky door cards & dash up!

You do see the odd tan or red interior (mainly on SVO or RR Sport) but these do appear to devalue the vehicle as they are usually a good bit cheaper used.
