I was looking at the Defender brochure yesterday and I just love it. Montalcino red is gorgious, too! Well done, Martin!
(I'm not sure I'd go for the black pack with that though. I think silver suits it more)

There are special edition versions coming out at the out run - im on the list of one, although may not get it...defenders are cool
It seems there are a lot of people liking red - although the resale point is probably noteworthy as I have a new one every year
Each to their own, I just don't like the black pack wheels - the contrast generally is cool.
some thinking to doMike

You say resale,but looking at the current voting would suggest the colour may be an advantageous financial choice "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

A couple of months ago whilst driving on the A59 I came up behind an unusual coloured MY14 D4.
Initially on aproach I thought it looked quite odd, but the more I looked, the more I liked.
Obviously don't know the colour name, but it was like a light khaki.
The black tail lights and other black detail really set it off.
Never seen once since.
Any idea what colour it was?

I always liked grey, silver and black ....

D4 rear upgrade - Narpys helped with that bit

On reflection,it could have been "Chablis"....never seen one on the road but saw a couple at the factory....it certainly split opinion...

that's a bit like the launch colour - was that igneous or something similar.
I liked it LR thought it was smart - but apparently resale time its awful!Mike

A good few weeks ago when I heard that name, I assumed it was Kaikoura Stone, until I saw a pic posted
Of somebody's new one on this site.
Certainly not the Chablis.
The one I saw was very light and I'd say it would be between a grey and a stone shade.
Edited to add: almost the shade of a lining paper but with a little more warmth.
