    D300 HSE commercial Ordered.

    After owning a Disco 3 and a couple of Disco 4's i have ordered a Disco 5 HSE commercial in Byron Blue. Very Happy

    I ordered it mid Feb and its been bumped a couple of times and seeing as the factory is closed now and they are concentrating on the most profitable units when in production we'll see what happens as to when it actually arrives. To be fair I'm easy on the situation as it is across the board in lots of industries and it is what it is. Very Happy

    welcome ! My wife really wanted the Byron blue and it's a lovely colour in the flesh. I was too boring and went for grey Rolling Eyes

    Hope that your wait is not too long.

    Very Happy I'm yet to see a Disco 5 Byron Blue in the flesh but after only ever having Santori Black in the past I wanted something that would not look like it needed washing every 5 mins Very Happy

    cheers Jason

    Well its arrived, my wife collected it last Wednesday for me as i have an ongoing problem with my back at the moment. Had a bit of a glitch setting up the incontrol account, but have to say the dealer and Landrover customer services where very helpful and efficient at getting this sorted for me. Thumbs Up

    Having not seen a one in the colour combo i had chosen when i placed the order i can say i am really happy with how the Byron Blue looks in the flesh Cool I have had it detailed and ceramic coated yesterday to give it some protection along with making my life a little easier in keeping it clean. Very Happy

    Looking well nice. 👍
    I just wish LR would have more of a selection of colours on their palette, rather than the usual blacks, silvers, whites and greys.
    Love the Epsom Green I had years ago, but now sadly discontinued.

    To me it is a real head scratcher that you can’t buy a green Discovery. Surely it’s an essential colour to have in a vehicle that screams ‘country’. I like the Pangea Green that they have for the Defender, see lots of those.

    Totally agree Equilibrium, as the Royals all seem to have several Green ones in their fleet.
    Maybe its an exclusive if you have blue blood Laughing

    Probably true! Someone on here had an Aintree Green that looked epic. Not sure how long that was on the options list for, but certainly wasn’t around from when i started looking around MY18.5.

    I understood Aintree Green was only 2017 choice in D5 HSE LUX.
    I Did have a FL2 in green but forgotten which year that was.



    HSE LUX, Aintree Green GONE

    Looks very nice I think that will be an easier colour to keep clean than the Dark blue I have ordered.

    Liking the look of that a lot, very nice indeed.

    Also concerned that Feb cars are just being delivered. My car ordered late June and so far haven't been told anything different from the mid November date I've got. However if Feb cars coming now and I've ordered 4 months roughly after then assuming they can keep the factory ticking over at a good pace I surely must be looking at a 2+ month delay.

    Unless they bump my order a little because it's likely high margin from all the options I ticked based on what you say here. Nice in a way for me but I'm British, I like to queue in an orderly fashion. Of course it makes perfect business sense for LR if you cannot make as many cars as you want you make the highest margin ones and slow down on the rest.
