Thought I'd post these up in case anyone's missed them. I think all three cars look great - the colour of the Heritage looks really eye-catching, while even the two-tone bronze and black Autobiography works very well.

One thing I have noticed are the front indicator lenses on the Heritage: the original beach pictures and brochure show a car with clear lenses, whereas this latest example has orange examples. To be honest, I think I prefer the classic look of the orange ones, but the brochure specs state that clear ones are part of the Heritage specification. Perhaps Land Rover have changed their mind and gone with orange? On both cars the rears are orange.

I think LR missed a trick here with the Heratage edition.

Why didn't they paint the windscreen surround silver like the early 90/110 models were which itself harked back to the galvanised screens of series vehicles?

I think the orange breaks up the bland colour and hope mine has orange lenses.

Surely if LR really wanted it to be "Hertitage " they would have fitted semaphore indicators and ditched the bonnet bump........ the heater would be removed and made optional and power assisted steering done away with............ Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I wonder, whether the grill should have been SS? Break up the front a little bit? Monsieur Le Grenadier

The HD steel wheels look just so right in the above Heritage pics. Is that the usual offset for the HD wheels or have they widened the track some how? They look great with the MT/R's on.
