SVO Badged LWB Range Rover showed up in London today, Two Tone Paint & Quad Tailpipes

Very interesting find!  It could be someone actually ordered their own SVO special or this could be one of the special editions that have been mentioned recently.

Here’s the badge from the Range Rover Sport SVR, the SV part does look like it could be the same as from the pic in the tweet:

Year of Defender – 2015 Land Rover Defender Assembly in Solihull

Land Rover released a large amount of info for the final year of Defender production.  I’ll be posting all the info over the next few days.  But to start, the collection of images from the assembly line at the original factory in Solihull.

Starting with these two pictures showing the two parts that never changed after 60+ years.  On the left you’ll see the 2014 part, not yet painted.  And on the right, the part on my 1971 Land Rover Series IIA.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Owner’s Handbooks are live but the QR coded videos are not.

A few neat finds will be posted in the coming days but if you’d like to check it out yourselves, head on over to TOPIx and start reading, all the Discovery Sport documentation is live.

One thing I noticed is that they have different documentation for the models with a CD player vs the models without.  The CD models seem to use a very lightly modified version of the current Infotainment system.  While the models that don’t come with the CD player get the updated InControl Touch system.  In the video linked here, we can see the old/current system still in use but the model in the video does have the CD player.  Confirmed inclusion of a CD player for the US market is still unconfirmed.  Brochures show it both with and with out but it’s not listed a feature.  This is probably just the normal Land Rover worldwide confusion that always seems to happen.

A new feature, at least new to me, found in the Owner’s Handbooks – QR codes that link to instructional videos.

I guess we’re still waiting until launch for them though because this is all you get when you read them:
