I don't understand the Tattytitanium badge ??

Whilst I do like the rounded off square grille look.

Also note the fake grille under the main rear lamp clusters.

As for paying a 10% premium to have one of the first off the line ?? Why ??

as seen in the photos....... "prototype vehicle".

I was at my local JLR Dealer last week, asked them to get me a Right Hand Raised Air Intake.

First they told me there is NO ..... Right Hand Raised Air Intake.

Then they told me parts for the OCTA were not available separately, only as a "Complete Vehicle"


That stops 'others' building Look - a Like vehicles.

His & Hers raised air intakes !!

I have been looking for a 'off-side' (UK) raised air intake for some months , out of China.


China factories will be knocking the 'extras / replacements' of OCTA in a very short time.




The same Chinese factories are knocking out genuine parts for Land Rover so you are bound to find one. WARNING.

I spoke with a guy a few weeks ago who claims to have driven the Octa.
Further claims he is a test driver for JLR and conducts vehicles at MIRA Technology Park
which is home to the UK's most comprehensive automotive proving ground.

I was watching a motoring program this morning, Auto Mundial ITV4 01:30, which amongst other 'New' vehicles, showed a LR promotional snippet on the new Octa. I think you have to be on a premium service to get it on catch-up.

I believe it to be a little old in its information.

Anyone else see it ??? (I know you were all asleep Laughing )
