Hi, I can't find a proper picture that's not computer generated.

I'm thinking of an Aintree Green, blue or stone Discovery Sport HSE.

I need to see a picture of the almond leather interior for the HSE, not the HSE Luxury.

If someone could help, I'd by most grateful.

Thanks.

Can't help with almond but here's Loire blue

Cirrus was my first choice but it was lighter than I expected and was worried about dye transfer from jeans so went black again

I had Almond in the last RRS and it stained with jeans  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Autoglym Leather Cleaner with a microfiber cloth is a very easy fix for dye transfer. I have the Ivory on my Metropolis & had to wipe them with the Autoglym stuff & it is really quick & easy. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Cheers for that.

My 2013 FL2 HSE is black and I fancy something lighter but not that light.

Just need to find some decent pix of an Aintree green DS HSE now.

I nearly bought an aintree green car, glad I didn't , the colour looks greet in bright sunshine but when it clouds over or in shadow the colour looks black. I walked past to aintree green LR at the royal highland show yesterday (a dull day) and I was struggling to tell what colour they were. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Precisely why I like the colour and fell for it as soon as I saw Aintree Green  MY15

Having a tough choice over the colour.

Settled on Aintree Green for several reasons.

I like dark green - had a Rover in BRG once and as a kid we had a dark green Suntor Marina camper.

The Landys all wear my late Dad's number plate and he always said Land-Rovers had to be green - so a nice family thing.

I like the blue above just as much but the green wins for the above reasons.

I think it looks great in thst gold/brown/stone colour but it seems to me it's a bit generic. The launch colour and most that I have seen come in it. Noting wrong with it, just it's not individual enough for me.

If the grey shades I like the bluey grey one Scotia? The others seem a bit the same as every other grey car out in the roads.

I discounted the special metallics because despite liking that orange colour, I'm not paying over the odds for it.

White, not for me. Red, a bit meh, going by the one I saw in the metal.

Black....I got a black
Mazda CX-7 in 2007 because it was the only one they had in stock. Looked great when clean but winter or summer it looked mucky very quickly.

Went to buy the Freelander. Wanted a facelift 2013 HSE but because we'd crashed the Mazda and it was off the road, we wanted one ASAP.

Yep, the only one they had was black.

It looks stunning right now. It got washed yesterday.

So of them all, Aintree Green is the preferred choice. I know it will get mucky like black but at least it won't be black! Plus I think the darker colours mast that rather heavy looking 'D' post which seems to be a feature of Aegis platform cars.

My MGF is in Sienna Gold - a Rover colour. I would live a Disco Sport in that even though it's a light colour. It's actually a shame you can't get the old Range Rover Ardennes Green Cyprus Green or Brooklands Green. They'd look great. I'd actually go for a flat green like MK1 Dusciveries came in.

Who knew choosing a colour would be so hard?

I can't understand how some of you guys manage to keep your Land Rovers so clean! Mine isn't that bad but my son recently stopped me washing his absolutely filthy (inside and out) FL2 as said he would lose credibility with his farming clients if he showed up in a clean car.  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Well it's going bush in 2 weeks so if we manage to get any rain I'm
Sure it's going to be dirty!!! And I'm sure my Staffy will do his best to replicate that on the inside!!!  MY15
