I'll keep you updated Wooly, I'm hoping I dont have to so will keep my mouth shut and see if the automated systems at work flag it up. I've only been with the company since February so not sure how strict they are on it. They were very keen on flagging up when insurance and MOT were due, I'm hoping this can slip by though. I'll probably know mire at the beginning of Feb when its about 1 month prior to being 6yo (and annoyingly for me if I have to sell, when the RFL goes down significantly)

With it being Christmas (yes I'm writing this on Christmas eve, currently stuck on the sofa as the wife catches up on her "must watch Christmas tv), I thought I'd catch up on my research.

Yes, the 18MY Autobiography has the Surround Camera System as standard. |

When I bought mine about a year ago, I looked all over and ended up getting a pretty decent deal at Sytner Sheffield (actually a BMW dealer but they can source anywhere in the Sytner group) for an approved used. They have their own warranty which isn't that expensive, but limited to £4k per claim. I was so impressed with the salesman (Steve Vickers) and the experience generally, that I just got a Velar from him for my wife. And they even took 2 pxs as well. Again, I got a pretty decent deal with no faffing or mooching up and down the country looking at dogs. They delivered it to the house on a trailer and took the pxs away - it was all painless. Buying from an established member here would probably be my first choice, but I'd go with them second. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black 2018 D300 SE Velar in champagne Spiffing wheel centre caps, L322 sill repair panels, etc |

Just watch you don't inadvertently breach some clause in a contract which invalidates something else! Could end up with a right unwanted pain situation! |

For example, if you’re getting a monthly payment for using your own vehicle instead of a company car, and 6 months down the line they realise your motor is older than it should be, they might want the cash back. Or suppose you break down and are late for a job or meeting or something and they note the vehicle age then you might get a verbal. Don’t know your employer but if they’re tough on stuff like this you just want to avoid. It’ll all be in your contract. I am a cynical chap. |

Ah right with you. My gaffer is pretty chilled so if I miss something then he wont get grumpy but I may even elect to come out of the car allowance scheme if it becomes an issue as what I'd have to outlay to get a newer FFRR would be double the annual allowance. I'm rather lucky that having retired from my main career I currently work because I enjoy it, I wouldn't enjoy the miles I do if it wasnt in a FFRR. First time FFRR owner |

FYI not all SVA's are petrols sir... I own a quite rare 4.4SDV8 LWB 4 seater SVAutobiography Black Series. So comes with 100% leather covering (no plastic trim anywhere) sliding boot floor (in wood) 2 rear seats with electric deployable tables, champagne cooler and glass rack. Rear entertainment in factory fitted tablet form. So much bigger than headrest size. Rear side window electric blinds, etc etc etc etc...
