I think you’re spot on Eirik.

I've been sat on the fence for a while so decided to place a deposit but when the only communication I got from the dealer was to notify me of an increase in price, I took the decision to cancel my order.

Red Merle: the D350 is actually nice to drive, including in comparison to the 4.4SDV8. I take the point about value for money compared with what you have just now. Incidentally I met a very nice black/grey merle collie this week, a lovely dog.

The SE leather is typically Windsor Leather. If you upgrade to semi-Aniline, the difference is noticeably superior. |

Thanks for raising this Eirik, I have recently been thinking exactly the same about the lack of activity, things are very quiet here at the moment in the L460 section.

Over 14 months now since I ordered. The dealer tells me they are not making V8s at the moment. Which is odd when I saw a box fresh 72 plate in exactly my spec in London a couple of weeks ago.

Here in Norway we - the customers who have ordered a new JRL - got an email from JRL country manager where he apologised for the situation. The extended waiting time is both due to lack of parts from subcontractors, but also due to a record high demand for the new JLR products (I read the L460 and the new RRS). Nice to be contacted, but hardly any new info for us still waiting.

Eirik34, if waiting to get the spec we originally ordered, at the price at time of ordering, was possible it wouldn’t be so bad. However, I don’t think this is the case.. The spec and price is a moving target and you get what you get when your build comes up. |

I've been in the Cotswolds this week, and saw many new Range Rovers and RR Sports on the road. I don't think any of them were PHEVs, but it was good to see, even if it does make me wonder about my car.

I keep contemplating bailing on my order I’m honestly not excited about it which given my past feeling about the delivery of the 9 new LRsI purchased is telling as normally I can’t wait.

I passed a full transporter load of FFRR's on the M4 between Bath and Bristol this week so there are a few being delivered. Two were bronze coloured, the rest dark. All LR cars from 1984

I think the key point in terms of my order, is that very few of the FFRRs on the road are PHEVs, and probably none of them is the P510e model.
