Scotland 2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Fuji White

I'm not a fan of the straight grain woods that LR have been using over the last few years to be honest that's why I generally go for the Piano Black trims.

Not sure why that is, perhaps it's something to do with sustainability, but I really liked the fine grain American walnut used in the last of the Classics, (see CSK) or the burr walnuts from the classic Jags.

I'd definately go for polished Burr Walnut if it were an option, like most Rolls' are trimmed in or going back to the XJ series Daimers but I feel like the latest woods are less drawing room and more IKEA kitchen sadly.

I do know some aftermarket specialist can offer replacement veneers of your choice, but it's a bit pricy, about £5k per car, so why don't LR offer that as an option as the current offerings cheapen the interior terribly..

Anyone know why LR have chosen to go down this path with their wood trims ? Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

England 2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Luxor

For what my opinion is worth, it looks great always nice to see something that isn't Grey or Back with a Black interior.

Often these sort of ads have misprints or bits missing, I would certainly investigate the service history it may be on OSH and be a simple as not having the book stamped.

Personally I would go for the upgraded interior for the better Navigation as someone else has commented. Geoff

That is bloody loverly


I know. I am quite tempted to put a low ball offer in and see how it goes - I'm waiting for the L460 to come down to c. £50k then I'll keep it for a while (had my current 2011 for 7 years now) but this would be nice in the meantime...... Mr. Green
