Just placed my order for a 2013 Autobiography 3.0TDV6....Santorini with Ivory,few extra options took it over £92K.......drove one yesterday,absolutely superb to drive and the inside is a notch above my current Westminster.....just waiting for a build date now.  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

Just been told September!!!

As its an Autobiography I have to "wait" much longer!  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

I may have a Jan/Feb slot which can still be specced if your interested

Get my Autobiograhy SDV8 January 5th + dealer prep days cannot wait  Far to many gone...

92k! Seems they build it people will pay it. Well played enjoy when you get it exciting or what!

Was going to go for the TDV8 as thats what my 2012 Westminster is....however after actually driving the new TDV6 I can honestly say its astonishing.....its quicker or as quick as my 4.4 and feels superb.

My September slot may move forward hopefully!!  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

Did you also drive the new V8 though?

Driven the new SDV8 and the New TDV6 , chalk and cheese V6 lacks grunt once moving and off the line quite a bit slower in real world than the current TDV8 even with the extra 500 Kilos , also if you were going to tow anything again SDV8 wins hands down, My dealer has 29 orders on his books just 3 are TDV6 4, are Superchargers the rest SDV8's On new tight engines i showed 29 on the 3.0 and 28 on the SDV8 so not even worth worrying about fuel. Far to many gone...

Yes....the 4.4 is quicker but not that noticeablke at all,I have owned every version over 10 years,the SC was by far the drivers car,the 4.4TDV8 sublime and the TD6 very much Ice cream van however the new TDV6 is on a par with my TDV8 IMO and thats enough for me.

My dealer has 25 TDV6 orders...5 TDV8 and not a single SC order.Come resale time the TDV6 will be the one most people want as its half the road tax costs and better economy etc.

Top that with the top spec Autobiography and thats why I made my choice,oh yes and also Black with Ivory again!  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

Don't expect that much better out of the new SDv6 i have it in a new Disco here for 4 months now returns mixed at 29.3 against my far heavier full Fat 4.4TDv8 which returns 28, both on 8 speed gearbox of course. Road tax hmm if you are buying a 95K car then £140 a year diff in road fund lic should not come into the equation IMO.

Odd how orders vary from dealer to dealer , pal of mine has his due in April again his dealer is sold out now for 12 months , they have 1 x SC order , 14 x SDV8 and 2 SDV6 orders out of there allocation of 17 cars for 2013 i am told.

Really think the 5SC is now only being kept for the asian and US markets now. Far to many gone...
