I'm confused: why isn't the sunroof standard on HST's anymore? Great colour btw Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac.............

A little voice inside my head said "Don't look back, you can never look back"

I would have thought it was standard?

Ah it's the 'one lady owner' never raced or rallied speal from the sales rep...we've all had it.

If you look at any of the press cars in magazines, then LRs they now start with an A prefix (used to be B* for Birmingham), which is the Anglia region. My guess is LR have now sub contracted to a lease company this part of the business to save money. Inchcape which is (amongst other things) a lease hire company use A* to register all its cars. For example, when you hire a car many cars are now registered with a lease company who then sub lease to hire companies. They are then sold on after a few months are you don't know they have been used as hire cars. Next time you are at the airport, look at the company names on the bottom of the numberplate. You can usually tell on "nearly new" used cars when they tip up on the forecourts with a totally differant prefix to your region. K* are Merc, Audi, VW press cars, E* are Fords, Y* BMWs etc as this is the area their HQs or delivery centres are (Milton Keynes, Essex, Yorkshire). Next time you read a car mag note the number plate prefixes and then see how many pre-registered or nearly new ones with the same prefixes tip up on the dealer forecourts or car supermarkets. My LR is BG (Birmingham) as it was supplied direct from LR for export.

Your car, will probably have been registered by LR as a "management" car or in reality registered to inflate sales figures; it will then have been run as a company car by someone in LR for a few months and then sold on through the dealer network to now gen more money for LR.

Don't worry about it though, honestly it is nothing to worry about, and your new car does look good.  Freelander 2.2e HSE , Privacy, Fully debadged, 19" Chrome SHadow alloys
