Hi, in my ongoing quest to find the one, I have come across this, slightly over budget and would rather it didn't have the black pack (although I think it carries it off as they have thankfully left the wheels alone), would this have been factory?
Looks like a nice example, would like to know your thoughts?

Nice colour, but I am biased

If you are also looking at private sales, I have a 2015 MY16 (EURO6) Loire Blue Autobiography with ~59k on coming up for sale with full Land Rover service history and some nice optional extras over and beyond the Autobiography (Meridian 1700w, Heads up Display, Traffic Sign recognition, Land Departure, Deployable Side Steps, Genuine Gloss Roof Rails, Tow Bar ). Probably going to want a little more, but it is lower mileage if you were interested.

Most pics show the car with diamond cut wheels, but some show black gloss - which is a little odd.

I'm not a fan of the black pack with the dark blue, but that's just a personal taste thing & others will love it - same with the red calipers.

Other than that, it looks a tidy car.

I agree that it's strange that it has black and then diamond cut wheels. The other thing I noted was the rear number plate is not the larger style one that LR tend to use and there are no badges on the boot lid. This would make me question if the boot lid is a replacement due to a rear end shunt?

Nice colour and it says it has a full LR history. 2019 Autobiography SDV8 Byron blue/black - current
2016 Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black/Ivory - sold
2009 RR Sport TDV8 HSE - sold

Pictures 24 & 36 shows the wheels as black?

Since it has the SV side vents, perhaps the previous owner had the rear rebadged, seems odd but it’s a personal presence. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

May have been on a private plate and dealer has made one hence smaller plate? John

Rather strangely, when looking for the MOT history, one part of the system shows it as black and the other as blue. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

In your position I would get an Experian Auto Check for a fiver which will show amongst other more important things, any colour changes or VRM changes. Chris

Aftermarket door inserts, aftermarket grille, debadged on the rear. Too sketchy for me. I would like to buy my cars as original with history as possible, and make any changes myself if desired.
