Do you like Stornoway Grey then? Very nice though. How come the wife gets her car first?
I've been looking at a Stornoway Grey RRS, but I'd still prefer Black as my first choice. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Russben, Grey is much better on RRS, although the RRS Autobiography in Black in Hunters showroom looks gorgeous, its eye watering £70k price tag made me get put and close the door gently Laughing

If my numbers come up it will be a Firenze Red RRS, privacy glass and 5 spoke alloys, nothing OTT.

Yes, it takes me a while to work out which colour people's FL2's are Wink I think Stornaway grey was discontinued due to the Japanese tsunami along with Lago grey and Bali blue (maybe more?).

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

No Stornoway was still around after the tsunami, it's the colours that became scarce as it was the pigment of the colour that was hard to get hold of. Any shade of gray, and black and white were easy as my parents wanted a Rimini FL but couldn't get one for love nor money Thumbs Up Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
Family's: 2009 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Auto, Stornoway

Embarassed Got my facts wrong. Embarassed The letter said that Santorini black would be discontinued, how come you can get it on FL2's today?

Hmm. Still prefer santorini black. Looks fabulous when its clean & in the sun. Ok, poor argument really after looking outside. Rolling Eyes

I must admit I'm not keen on the Autobiography. I don't like the bright aluminium strip under the front bumper. If I had one I'd have to get it powder-coated grey or black to tone the front end down a bit. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

I admit that the Evoque looks best in grey. For some reason black doesn't seem to suit it. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
