Agree with Red Merle about people buying colours based on resale not what you like. Had to fight to get my current one XL in Marmrimis Teal or how every you spell it. Salesman didn't want to sell me it at all but when it came along with the privacy glass it looked smart. He admitted he'd been wrong about how it looks but said would still affect the resale value as no one wants that colour.
Plenty others seem to like it but not buyers. It good to be different and not silver or black.
Soon to be for sale with only low 30,000 miles on a four year old {2011}. Keep an eye on this site.
Didn't approve of my choice for a new HSE in Montalcino Red but I like it as very similar to my first disco3 and that was a good car. 2004 plate and sold when seven years old. Only ERG valves once otherwise nothingDiscovery 4 HSE Montalcino Red

Another wrong wheels on pick up!!
So I picked up my brand new Discovery today! Firstly I'd just like to say I'm over the moon - amazing, incredible, beautiful machine.
But...
The sheet gets pulled off with great anticipation and... it's got the wrong alloys!! To be fair the dealer couldn't apologise enough and genuinely seemed gutted. I was pretty chilled about it because I was still riding high as I was picking up my first brand new Discovery. But just interesting that I'd read over the last few weeks a number of people picking up vehicles and them having incorrect wheels as well as other mistakes.
Anyway, I'll post some pictures soon and then post some more once the correct alloys are on. All in all though, loving the 52 miles I've done so far!!
