After 6 years of reliable ownership I’m trading the MY17 TDV8 VSE in for an 2021 SVAutobiography Dynamic Black, want to scratch the itch for the V8 P565 whilst they’re still available and this one has a lowish mileage (17k). Wasn’t necessarily looking for a black with black RR but went to have a nosey at this one and was soon hooked.

So bye bye to a reliable car, reasonable fuel costs/insurance/road tax as I leap into the great unknown🫣.

Pick it up at the weekend and look forward to the 200 mile drive back home to put it through its pace's.

Coming from an SE model the Autobiography spec with the SV additions is very very nice, lots of new features to fiddle with. Not a big fan of the rear entertainment screens though.

Spent a couple of hours inspecting and test driving and it all seemed ok but no doubt there will be some squawks as it’s a Land Rover after all!
This will be my 6th fattie, there’s nothing else quite like them.
Fingers crossed I’ve not bought a lemon.

Very nice car Sir, hope you enjoy.

Very nice Peter d,

Many happy miles

Enjoy, they are fabulous . Make sure the rear armrest works in the appropriate fashion, and has the remote inside , should also have the mirror too.

Very nice. Man next door to me had one the exact same as that a couple of years back. Made a nice noise and looked lovely inside. Doesn’t have the quilted leather seats? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

but 1st thing I would do is switch of keyless and get a ghost2 installed  2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

This is the exact same car I bought earlier this year albeit mine has covered 26k and must say could not be happier. As said previous the only fault when I collected mine was the rear armrest cover hinge was broken so well worth a check as they are £600 to replace, the only other thing you may want to purchase is a 24 month data only sim from 3 so the telematics work as they should. Apart from that enjoy it’ll be as fast as you imagine and on a long run at 65ish mph will return over 30 mpg. 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black ( Black wheels need to go )

Very nice! Enjoy the drive home once you have picked it up - I am sure you will!

I have the same itch that needs scratching but I can’t justify it at the moment.

That is very very nice, enjoy. overfinch modified

Thanks for the encouragement guys.
Having read the useful tips on here previously, amongst others I did check that the rear arm rest worked and that it did have the mirror and remote within plus two sets of headsets!

Fortunately It has a Ghost fitted already so that’s a win, although I don’t know the difference between a Ghost1 or a Ghost2? I’ll defo lose the keyless entry as I noticed that it was still enabled, maybe I’ll get a Disclok steering wheel clamp thingy although they do look quite a faff.

It does have the quilted leather seats, I think they may be standard on the SVAB Dynamic.
