I do hope so, as I really loved my Lugano Teal D3 for that same reason, when the sun hit it, it just sparkled - lovely colour. The Loire blue isnt quite the same, as the Teal was Mica-talic, but its not far off

Hi Al
I'm not far from you and also a caravanner. Mom and dad still live in Langley.
Just about to change my Disco 3 which I have had from new in 2006.
Do you use the same dealer and if so would you recommend? Got any contacts??
In the past I have used Guy Salmon on the Coventry road and they were ok.
Cheers
Steve

@ softuk: yes, pick up 26th Oct - The dealer had a number of D4's on preorder, and one was the spec I wanted. Just got lucky
@ Dunton. Over the years I've tried most of the midlands dealers, but tend to use Colliers in Erdington (thats where the new one is coming from). I wont use Stratstones at all. I had one of my D2's from Salmons in Cov - they were OK, but aftersales wasnt great. Previous D4 came from Salmons in Stockport, and D3 before that Salmons in Knutsford, so I'm happy to travel for the right deal.
Colliers service has been better than most, and they offered me the best deal when I was looking to change
