After 6 years of faultless service I have decided to swap out of my 2016MY SDV8 VSE. It’s the longest I’ve ever kept a car and I’ve really enjoyed owning it. Time to upgrade though and I’ve gone for a 2021MY P525. Portofino Blue with Ivory leather. Pick it up next Saturday - here’s a pic from the test drive. Can’t wait!

That’s stunning. Only 7 days to go 😀

thats lovely, I'm so tempted to go petrol next time I change First time FFRR owner

Picked up the new wheels on Saturday and had a good trip back from Milton Keynes via Brackley (to watch a football match). Engine is awesome and lots of gadgets to work out.

Spent yesterday sorting bits out like putting in the rubber floor mats and boot mat. Ah….. Seems if you have executive rear seats, then the standard boot mat is slightly too long, so I’ve pushed it in with about an inch of the far end folded up against the seat backs. Not ideal, but I can live with it. The floor mats are fine in the front footwells, but the pegs in the reat footwells are in a different position (the previous car was a 2016), so I need to put holes in the mats to line up with the pegs. The real pain though is my hatchbag bootliner doesn’t fit and they don’t make one for cars fitted with executive seats, not it seems do Land Rover.

Apart from that, its brilliant - Mrs S particularly likes the massage seats!

Looks lovely, great colour but then I would say that...!!  Pete

That looks a picture, I plumped for the 5:0 sc as lots of short trips and couldn’t be happier. All I do out of the ordinary is pop it on a battery trickle charger once a week to keep the battery topped up as I’ve read and previous experiences show these big old girls are voltage dependent. 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black
