Hi all,
thrilled yesterday to have a rare sighting of a 2008/09 G4 Range Rover Sport. BN08 RRY was parked off in Brockenhurst Hants. high street, yesterday morning around 10am The only occasion I didn't have my phone to take some pics. Still largely kitted, winch, roof rack, ladder and some very modest G4 markings. There can't be too many of these still left around as originals. Interestingly Parkers list it as grey, which it most definitely wasn't. Were the Range Rovers just resprayed, not manufactured in Tangier Orange?
Does BN08 RRY belong to anyone in the club?

Hi Rich,
Your sighting is rarer still as it is a TDV6. It would have been taken off the line and painted. This was quite common, my D110 was black.
Josh Lewsey (England Rugby) appeared with it in pre event publicity in June 2008.
It was also spotted in 2008.

No union jacks now, just two very small non standard G4 logos/stickers, just forward of the driver and passengers door. I wish I'd had my phone with me. Do we know how many RRS there were prepped for 2009?

I've one of the 08 RRS's but it's one of the TDV8's . It was painted tangiers from the production line I think because if you look under any carpet or into the body it's all orange.

Hi Paul,
great pics. Where was the second shot taken? Do you know? Looks like it could be Eastnor.
BN08 RRY no longer has any prominent G4 branding, so no side deals, bonnet stickers or other stickers in the rear. No plaques front or rear, and interesting looking at the photos, initially no roof rack fog lamps, then a full set later. Currently she has no fog lamps at all and no sign of them ever having been cut in to the roof rack front baffle.
