I'm sure there's no direct correlation :

Is it Tamiya's answer to the Lego Defender?

First I've seen with a coloured D pillar - & I think that looks ok. Works with the coloured A pillar & mood board. If there is ever a commercial version I think this would be the way to go. Wonder if the B pillar would look any good in body colour too. Not sure about the Lego wheels though, in faded-plastic white. |

Thunderbirds are go?
Painting the “C” pillar seems like the best way of dealing with the horror of the back-end design. The grey 110 posted above with the 22” wheels has a matt black C pillar. It’s OK, if you don’t look at the wheels. They even managed to get the shoulder line straight, which is better than the factory does. |

I suppose that The Prof couldn’t have designed it with black pillars all round because then it would have had to have been badged a Range Rover Defender with the floating roof, and that would then spoil Velar sales further..__ 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

Personally I think the rear looks better than the front.

The factory left a clip used in the construction on the GPF that should not have been left on and that caused the engine to go into restricted performance mode - unfortunately it gapoened within 20 miles of delivery....... now all fixed.
Let’s hope that that they are as quick to sort the other quality control issues. The clip issue should not be there on the diesels.

Especially as the cars have probably sat for 3 months in the U.K. holding pool when there was plenty of opportunity for some of the furloughed staff to have been retained to spend a day checking over each and every car...
