Shown here on the 2011 LR2 / Freelander 2, they’ve changed from the gold lettering to silver – more like the Supercharged badges on the Range Rovers. I just wonder if this change will be for all Land Rovers or just the diesel models in Europe? wink, wink…
Circa 1971
The Tan color choice for the Autobiography Range Rovers was one I was actually thinking of getting, shown here on the Build and Price page – it looks good – a tan that’s more brown then orange.
Here are some other official shots – starting to look more orange:
And finally some real life shots posted over at RangeRovers.net:
And I realize the lighting or camera may not have been perfect, but please make sure if you’re considering this color combo, you see it in person before ordering. And if you were hoping for an orange interior choice – then go for it!
This official PR photo of the interior of the 2011 Range Rover never looked quite right to me – specifically the new transmission control area – the shadows didn’t seem correct, the coloring looked almost like is was drawn rather then being a photograph of a real item. The right side looks like it’s not continuously even with the wood trim – wider towards the front of the vehicle, nearer towards the back. And we can clearly seem it’s the same height and butts up with the vertical section at the back. The top of the rotary selector looks like it was painted in.
In this frame from the PR video – there is a much different look. Much more shallow and then it kicks up at the end – and the top of the rotary selector is metallic now.
So it appears those first official 2011 interior photos were either using pre-production designs or were just copied & pasted to create the new look. While in the picture below, there’s a more refined design. I wonder what the lead time is on taking these photos – why couldn’t they wait until the interior was locked and get actual photos?
I still have huge backlog of old print ads, brochures and more that I just never posted. I’ll start putting them up over the next few weeks. To start with here are two new galleries:
Land Rover Series – Brochures & Sales Material
Range Rover Classic – Brochures, Sales & Tech Material
