With just over 36 hours to go until we collect our new car. I thought it was about time to start a proper new Auto Biography. I will close off the original one on the day she is driven away by it's new owner in a couple of weeks.
It will be a very sad to day when she is driven off as the car had been pretty much faultless. But by the time she goes, the new car will be well on it's way to having my own stamp on it. We originally travelled to Farnell Land Rover in Bradford to buy this :- ![]() A 2013 Freelander 2 Dynamic SD4 Auto. But two big reasons made us change our mind. The paint work was terrible with some bad re-sprayed panels, and we decided that we would miss the extra features that the HSE has. So we bit the bullet and blew the budget! On this :-
A 2013MY Freelander 2 HSE Lux In Premium Borolo Black Ivory Leather Privacy Glass Added bonus of a Towbar This is an Ex Land Rover Management Car So as soon as the deal was done, I started to place orders here there and everywhere for the parts to make it my own. So the box's started coming
So what has arrived so far? Side Mouldings Side Steps Mudflaps Genuine 13 pin electrics. I will also be fitting my Evoque 20" wheels as soon as I get the car home. Then in the next few weeks, the DVD system that was in the grey one, will be fitted to the new car. After that, the list in order will be :- Rear Spoiler Si4 Twin exit exhaust So, watch this space and I'll do the updates as they come up!! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... Last edited by Mav71 on 14th Nov 2013 5:42 pm.

I like the look of the new showrooms and they are always impeccably clean too.

Haha can't tell the differents between the 2. The climate control in the new models really annoy me, they should have changed them after going to so much effort with the rest of the dash. |

Nice looking car, it's a good job you enjoy washing your car, that black won't stay shiney for very long at this time of year.

Lovely looking car Mav71, and it looks like your dealer knows how to hand over a car and make it a great experience.

Though the Fl2 is 7yrs old, it's looking better now than it's ever done.

see the big wooden Venetian blind thing hanging from the showroom roof, my mate helped fit those in a local LR dealer, He reckons the dealers have to pay �4000 for them, and they have to have them |
