United Kingdom 2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Aintree Green
Possible 2017 AB Purchase

Morning all

I'm looking to change from my 2012 L322 and saw this, which I like the look of:
https://www.lloydmotorgroup.com/UsedCars/L...Auto/81276

I've obtained a copy of the build sheet and there's what appears to be an anomaly...
'With Tinted Glass All Round'

However, it 'clearly(!)' doesn't... Could the build sheet be wrong?

Also, has anyone any experience of Lloyds in York? I've been over and its an impressive set up, very friendly chap, so far so good...
Many thanks in advance.

Ah, I see. Thank you for that.

I did reserve it, yes. As the wheels were off for refurb I was unable to test drive. Obviously its subject to that being a good one...

United Kingdom 2017 Range Rover Vogue TDV6 Corris Grey

Nice! I like the colour combination. The 2017 model has the best rear view IMHO, very minimalist without shouty exhausts spoiling the sleek lines Whistle

Get them to refurb the alloys for that sort of money, at least one is kerbed a bit?

Keep us posted! Thumbs Up

Next purchase: MY2018 grille…….. Laughing “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Yeah, the colour is definitely one of the main attractions, I'd really been hoping for a green one with a lighter coloured interior, but they appear to be rocking horse doo doo, at least in the budget I was looking at.
I'm sort of hoping that the pano roof floods enough light in...

As for the cost, I've been looking round for a while now and been keeping an eye or prices listed on Autotrader and main dealers. I didn't think it was actually too bad for an AB spec from a main dealer... Appreciate that what they're advertised for might not be what they're sold for, mind!

Aintree Green Thumbs Up
Had a 2017 Aintree Green from new and I never tire of the colour! 2017 was the very last year for it, until green became a stupidly expensive option.
It’s a 2017, so it’s got the upgraded displays, but still has the tactile heater controls, dual view display and comfy head restraints.

Another fan of dark green here. I look at what’s about from time to time, but just haven’t seen the right colour combo. I bought the current car because it was exactly what I wanted colour wise; aintree green, oatmeal semi aniline leather, cappuccino dash top and configured walnut wood trim, plus turbine wheels. I’d consider swapping out if I could find something newer with the same spec, but I haven’t seen anything. Lots of light leather/piano black trim and black carpets, but nothing like what I have.

Well, I've picked it up and so far so good.
The colour really is great in the flesh and the darker interior is growing on me... Now the wheels have had a refurb, it looks just the ticket.

The drive assist features it has make a long journey a breeze, much more comfortable seats than the 2012 and an array of buttons to try get familiar with!

Just a note about the dealer (Lloyds York) - they were great throughout, everything dealt with quickly and efficiently. Long may that continue!

Oh, one more thing. Patrick @ Gap sorted out the switch over of the IID tool in about 5 minutes flat too.
All in all, a very happy L405 owner

We bought a RR from Lloyd Carlisle and found them to be very good overall. Would definitely buy from that group again.
