what new model is land rover testing?
i have seen a cloaked up 4x4 driving around south worcestershire (broadway area) twice in the last 5 days.
it looks like either a supersized freelander or a lower than normal ffrr.


what model are they due to renew shortly?

cheers landy boy Thumbs Up

both times he was going in the opposite direction and there was no time to take a pic.

the driver doesn't respond to a land rover flash or wave Sad

its lhd and silver model (zambezzi or similar) with black geometric shapes stuck on (triangles, rectangles).
looks a bit like the old ford 4x4 (not kuga, but i can't remember its name)

i just had to google blackvue to see what you were refering to Embarassed

i think i'll just jacknife the stock trailer to force him to stop and then i can take a few detail pictures Whistle

i pressume he was commuting between eastnor and solihull but keeping clear of the m5?

Saw the same beast driving down Chipping Campden High Street!

Must admit, I thought it was closer to RRS size than FFRR, but could be wrong. Guess the Range Rover is due for a refresh sooner?

There is also an article in LRO with the same looking car it too, said it was new FFRR.

The other mule going round is a black FFRR with open grille, similair shape to that in the pics. Saw it once unexpectedly whilst walking through Chipping Campden. Saw it again yesterday whilst sat at a junction in Stoneleigh. Had a good gorp, but not enough time to think and get camera !
