The colour is growing on me, especially when seeing it "in the flesh" but the wheels HAVE to be black
 LR have got it horribly wrong with the green alloys 
Curious to know your opinions on towing a Buccaneer with it

Andy
The rims are in the process of being changed, (if someone replies to a pm ?) and will shelf the green one with ATs fitted, until needed As a tow car, very good, The 75th has the D300 in it (or P400 !!) and makes light work, 200 miles towing the box, and 500 running round, have returned over 30 mpg average for the weeks trip, Kermit has the full towing pack and Air, so are a easy tow of the Buccy, would say better than the Range Rover , as hold gears much longer, As still running it in, was in sport mode all week, California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

Rude not to get a picture the other day, when Dad went to bed for the winter

I was sitting in a 75th anniv at a dealer in Dubai the other day. They're a LOT more expensive here! Gorgeous car tho! My Mrs loved it too! I was looking because deciding on a car (along with my 2011 Defender 110) because SWMBO will only drive Auto vehicles. Ideally I want something a bit rugged, that can tow, and also carry kayaks on the roof...
Just a Q.... What MPG are you seeing? Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

I've seen the photos and in the flesh, I'm still glad I chose Carpathian Grey for mine. Might be better with white steelies or bright alloys, but colour coded wheels is, in my humble opinion, a huge fopar for JLR. It's up there with the current Discovery ("D5") rear end design

At the end of the day if you like it who cares what other people think, I see you have taste having a 50th Anniversary V8 as well, I love my 50th V8 and the new one.
I do like the colour but I do think it suits the black wheels better
You just need to start colour coding your attire now like this lady I spotted at Costco the other week
