Finally made a decision
After some months of my old D4 reaching starship mileage, I've been agonising over whether I should wait for a D5, go for the Volvo, or a Tesla and even nearly bought a VW Transporter!
In the end I found a brand new HSE Luxury D4 that had been pre-registered but only had 25 delivery miles... and it was at a price I couldn't ignore. When I saw a lightly camouflaged D5 on the M40 my mind was made up... and I took delivery yesterday.
I really wasn't sure about Waitomo grey (especially after Fuji) but now beginning to really like it with the black pack. The metallic paint often looks greenish when you're driving but it turns a lovely brownish in the sun, quite unusual.
