Looks like the RR Classic and D2 NAS milkshake cup holders will come in handy once again Laughing

STC 53156SUC - Beige

STC 53156LPW Dark smokestome

The ebony ones are obsolete nothin a can of matt black can’t sort though!

We’ve got them fitted in 7 out of the 12 Land Rovers in the Family. If there’s space it’ll fit. The centre section of the cup holder comes out for a super size super belly milkshake holder Rolling with laughter

I believe this new "LR" phone is built by The Bullitt Group and badge branded for Land Rover.

The real clever bit is from Bullitt ........... not from BULL 5HITT Brummies.
Bullitt have been working with Land Rover since May 2016.

It will officially be launched at Mobile World in Barcelona on 26 February, next week.




I used to attend this trade show when it was in Cannes 18 yrs ago. Where we launched the FIRST 'SMART' mobile videophone running Windows........... those were the days.
You would know these 'features' as ....... the iPhone.

Doesn't look as good as the AGM rugged phone from China, except more expensive for the LR badge. Rolling with laughter Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.
