Very nice one, but I am surprised to see the angle at which the rear mudflaps are hanging in the last two pictures. In picture 2 and 3 at the dealer they are still straight down, then in picture 4 and 5, so after you did some driving, they are hanging at an angle already at standstill.

Eric - it's been really windy here

What a lovely motor! Enjoy

It says in the handbook on page 53 that this will only happen if the vehicle exceeds 142 mph. YOLO... You Only Live Once...

Ha cant say I went that fast after leaving the dealership! I think it's the fact they are pretty stiff at the moment being new. They did settle down after a while stationary.

for Westovers, I saw it under the cover and wondered what colour it was when I walked past it.

The difference in the perception/representation of the Keswick colour between pics 2 and 3 inside vs outside, almost looks like a completely different paint.

It looks fab in both

Thanks very much Bows, it was a torcherous decision over colour and options but really pleased with the choices and believe it will age well! It's a commercial work vehicle doing light work at the moment but fingers crossed I will convert it to a station wagon at some point in the future.

Will upload some more images at some point soon in its working environment.
