I did! I really like the Santorini Black, I think it suites the car and it looks great with privacy glass!

Mine is Santorini Black after the previous Silver. I echo what's said earlier; when clean Black is much more pleasing to the eye but Silver is much better at 'hiding' the dirt. New: Freelander2 GS 62 plate (MY13) - Santorini Black with Clearview & Front PDC
Old: Freelander2 XS 09 Plate - Zermatt Silver with ST3 remap (eco map), Garmin 1490T Sat Nav, Rear Seat Entertainment kit

Well she still has the lamdrover and loves it.
Keeping it clear is quite enjoyable now I'm use to the size.


Happy new year to all

My first freelander was black, its the best colour but very high maintanance. I've gone for an grey this time but black is still my favorate. All the best for the new year. 2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.

Gone and fondly remembered
2012 XS (2013 up-grade LED lights front & rear)
2007 hse (2011 facelift)

Mine is Sumatra black and yes I agree needs a good clean and wax hence I started a thread asking about autoglym Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual MY11 - 61REG Stratstone Mayfair
Sumatra black, cloth, DAB Radio, Park Distance Control Front, Privacy Glass, 17" Full Size Spare Wheel.
Aftermarket: Mudflaps

I used to swear by Autoglym as did Bentley/RR and Aston.
I think it's a bit behind the times now except the expensive HD.
I now use Megs polish and to finish the Gold Class wax is great on black

The secret is how you wash it, what you wash it with and what you dry it with to keep the swirls at bay. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

My last 3 cars were grey met, grey met, silver (note the subtle difference) then time for a change, my current Freelander in black. It's true silvery met hides slight dirt & traffic film but I'm more than happy with my choice.  2020 Defender D200 110S Pangea Green
Gone: 2018 L550, TD4 SE Tech Auto, Carpathian Grey
Gone: Defender 90 200Tdi, Grey Raptor
Gone: 2012 FL2, TD4 GS Manual, Santorini Black

My other car is black. I vowed never to get another black one an fancied my new Freelander in Aintree Green....or any colour other than black.

But then I got made this offer on a 2013 model in black. I've had it less than a weel, 170 miles and it's filthy.

Ive had 6 black cars in a row and I only have one leg so cleaning is a pain but I actually enjoy cleaning cars I love the final buff after a wax so all in all I get more pleasure from owning black cars that any other colour but it does show marks up, I find silver to be boring grey is nice but black still looks best inmo in freelander disco or range, in fact anycar

You're doing alright. The effort was worth it. Impressive plate, decent alloys, cottage (in the background) to die for. Wishes come true. Happy New Year to you both. (Two more sleeps and I get my Firenze R 2013 XS)  Firenze Red XS TD4 01/2013 . Averaging 1800 miles per month. My 5th Freelander in 11 years. Devotee?
