Goodbye TD6...

So to give you a bit of background I bought my 54 plated TD6 about two years ago and have loved all of the miles I've covered in her, albeit found her a little slow at times.

My daily drive is currently an M3 Coupe which I was looking to change in Sept.

So the big question is or was, what to go for next? To cut a long story short, we decided the TD6 and M3 would go and be replaced with a Supercharged L322.

Finding a car in the right colour/spec that both myself and the wife agreed on took a little time but finally we have chosen a Nov 2010 one owner 22k mile Autobiography which is presently being prepped and serviced and should be ready for collection in about a week.

So goodbye...



and hello



Really looking forward to collecting this and understand the fuel economy will be worse that the M3 but hey ho.
Quick question though, is there an easy way I can find out the build spec?

Cheers

Jack

If your buying from a main agent then they will have it on their system... If not from a JLR dealer then Send Dan @ Duckworths a PM with your VIN and he can tell you...

Ooooh, a Black AB.

Does it have duo tone seats?

What colour is the leather stitched headlining?

Looking forward to more pictures.

I found the M3 to be the perfect car so I knew it was going to be very difficult to replace come September.

I had intended to buy a new RRS and probably would have done if the service at the dealers I visited hadn't been so poor. My local dealers new Sport was constantly out with a customer and in 6 weeks I never even got to see it never mind drive it. The next nearest main dealer did let me drive their managers car about 1/2 mile up and down the road and that was it!! Neither could give me a build slot and trying to get figures off them, well forget it. During this time my Mrs decided she wanted to move house which we are now in the process of, so bang went the new car.

So it was either keep the M3 and TD6 or change both and have something special.

I have been reading every word of the very helpful 5.0SC threads and content on here and thought this could be the car for me. I wasn't too bothered about colour as long as the car was right, but the wife insisted on wanting a cream leather interior. We looked at a 2009 AB with a full cream leather which looked lovely but was the car tatty imo.

This one popped up and she was happy with two tone interior so I pulled the trigger so to speak.

Here are a few pics.

Even though I love mine, and love the all black interior, I do like the duo tone seats very ,much. I would have liked a black headlining to, just cos its different.

I have spent a fair bit of time admiring your gallery especially the grill and Supercharged chrome plate on the door sill. Your car certainly has a great presence. The cream headlining does make the car feel more airy (if that's a word)
Not sure why mine doesn't have the head rest adjuster button.

Hate this waiting part. 2024 P550e Autobiography
