Now I understand the in-joke!
So harsh
I don't like the cognac version as much:

Didn’t realise they were so quick. 0-100mph in 8 secs

If you decide to pull the bullet I might have an old pair of V10 turbots that might help getting rebuilt ones organized. I can't remember if the main cause of problems was the actuators playing up and that they weren't available on their own or if that was on something else

Another kinda want. V10 Phaeton. LWB with the split rear seats is very cool but engine out for turbo replacement is a mission and the KESSY (keyless entry & start) problem points to water damage. I know mine’s been replaced already. Not insurmountable but likely a pain to track down.

How did you end up with a spare pair of turbots ??
Sense prevails; I need to avoid buying projects until I’ve finished the ones I already have (or at least, sold them on).

Arguably overpriced, but looks like a very good job done, unlike some of the conversions I’ve seen.

It’s a shame the insurance has gone so wild on range rovers, this would suit me nicely. I guess that’s why they’re so cheap.

Have you got an insurance quote? I think with the V8 diesel I’d be willing to run the reliability gauntlet.

A mate at work just bought a Jag FPace, he wanted a Velar, but the insurance for the equivalent model (which is presumably basically the same car) was £2500, versus the £650 for the Jag.
Presumably the insurance companies have just seen red for anything with a Range Rover badge.

Not on this particular one, but when we had the thread about it I tried running a quote on something similar and Admiral - who have covered me very reasonably on the 360 & 996 - declined to quote.

You know when you start thinking about a car and then it seems like you see 3 or 4 of them on every journey.
This one is a good spec and it has a 10 year warranty.

Are you talking about the pedals or the rain?
Ive heard similar feedback about the manual M2, so deffo something to look at before buying. Im not even sure if an auto suits the car better but then again that would be too similar to my 5.

Looks good in white - and a big fan of tan seats.
But for 50k? Too many other options I'd take instead.

I wasn’t clear - neither
Lack of traction was frustrating, but it was the crap gear lever position that made it a firm non for me. (Or more specifically the arm rest that prevented you comfortably accessing the gear lever).

They look even better in the flesh, that's a big thumbs up for me.

Now that you mention it, I think both the pedals and gear lever on right hand drive cars have received some negative comments.
