United Kingdom 2019 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Aruba
Finally found a lovely 2016 Autobiography - Photos Attache

Some of you may recall my recent headache with Land Rover UK - I ordered a 2018MY 5.0 SC AB back in September 2017, just ahead of launch - Land Rover moved delivery back from 31st of January, to 1st March, then 24th April to finally 26 June! So I recently told them to cancel my £112k order.

I've been looking long and hard for a well cared for model and something a bit different - After a few disappointing viewings, I finally found a really good example.

This spec car today would retail at around £113k, so very pleased at paying only £67k!

It's only 18 months old, has just 12k miles on the clock and both looks and smells like new.

I've attached a couple of Dealer photos below, which aren't particularly great as they don't show the colour very well, but at least give some idea - It's an unusual colour, called Ruffina Red, apparently a £6k SVO Paint option, also I think the interior is quite an elegant mix of colours.

Love it, great colour! Congrats. It may as well be new looking at it. I think you made a great choice cancelling your order.

So... the big question: what are you going to do with the £45k change?

. Cheers, Greg

You know my thinking Laughing

I've been considering that this morning, either put the saving towards another Mulsanne Speed after selling mine last September (still miss it), or maybe a Rolls Royce Wraith.

Still....... I'm really excited about this Range Rover - And chuffed to bits at getting a bargain Very Happy

Thanks ilard - And I suspect the dealer paid him considerably less than I paid!

Nice car @aja500.
Very unusual interior colours too.

Wonder how many cancelled orders JLR had, as I cancelled mine (and went Velar First Edition route instead).

Oh and with the change have got a Fiat 124 Spider too...

aja that is stunning. I love RuffIna and tried to order it for my SVR but they no longer do it. There was a member on here who had one the same.

Thanks guys.......

It wasn't just me that cancelled then Fat Wolfie - They must be losing some business.

Furthermore, I hear the new Range Rover is experiencing one or two teething problems, probably to be expected and not uncommon for any new car really.... The benefit with a 12-18 month old vehicle, is usually someone else has already spent time hanging round the garage getting early issues ironed out, meaning you don't have to - at least that's what I'm hoping Smile

Su-perb exemple indeed. This is a subtle nod to the 35th Anniversary Edition without being OTT.

Congrats, it is really nice and fairly priced!

Now, when are you selling it on, please? Keep me posted Wink Whistle Thumbs Up
