@ Simon - I think greenish tinge is just a trcick of the light/poor phone camera
@ Ray - Don't think so as Mrs RSK hasn't been into Northampton since we picked it up. Often to be found on the M1 from 15 upwards though as she gets on there for regular trips to the in laws in the NE.FFRR Vogue SE - Waitomo

No I got it from site sponsors Charles Hurst Park Royal who were excellent.
Hartwell let themselves down I'm afraid - see the thread below:

Looking good - same spec as our much anticipated new arrival (should finally arrive on Wednesday) - except ours will be Ipanema Sand. I am a bit worried about the 20" wheels though - some say they will make the ride very harsh and be to keep clean. Do they / are they ?Disco 4 TDV6HSE

I have to admit that the ride is not as good as with the 18"s on our old D3 but i don't think it's that bad and you'll soon get used to it.
They did get quite dirty quite quickly but I think the standard 19"s wouldn't be much better.
Hope you get it on time on Wednesday, I'm fairly certain you'll love it ! We're frequently up in your neck of the woods (Mrs RSK is from Washington) so we'll keep an eye out for you FFRR Vogue SE - Waitomo

rsk21, I know what your saying re Hartwell. I bought my D3 new from them just over 12 months ago, the guy I dealt with has now retired, he was OK. I'm in the market now to buy (2) D4 HSE's, now you would think that if you were planning on shelling out the best part of £100k they would be interested in a deal .....Wrong. They don't seem to want to come out and play, So i'll now be taking my business elsewhere.On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

Hi RSK21 - can you confirm whether that interior is the almond + nutmeg or the almond + arabica? I am assuming the almond is the seating colour & the lower trim but the nutmeg/arabica option relates to the top of dash & top of door trims?
Thanks

Hello Ecosse
Yes it is almond leather with nutmeg dash top and piano black trim inserts.
