Yes, this is a strictly G4 colour. But anything is possible these days...... ..
Gday Folks... Absolutely Love the G4 Orange.
Is this strictly a G4 Build colour only ?
Any Punters painting they're personal D2's or D3's in this colour code ?
Anyone looked into Vinyl wraps ? Durable off road Vinyl ?
Theres a pretty good range of heavy Durable paint on the market also.
I do a lot of exploratory off road driving. The older the trail or track the scrubbier and narrower it is.
And I'm not prepared to hold back any more. . . Bugger it !!
Anyone got any advice on maintaining a respectable finish on a vehicle that gets flogged through the bush ?
I saw a U.S.A D3 with a quarter inch of body liner sprayed over the whole vehicle. A bit excessive but didn't look too bad.
Any painters on the forum in the know ?
Cheers guys. Joel
p.s My 08 D3 is Gloss black. the worst for scratches

G4 colour is Tangiers Orange. It was only available on the G4 vehicles for the 03, 06 and 09 events and a few 'special edition' D2's in the UK after the first event in 2003.
134 were built for the 2006 event, I have one of the 35 Range Rover Sports![]()
Cheers for the heads up there fellas. yeah i wasnt sure on the history of the actual events etc.
Oh nice one Mike.
looks like i'll have to keep my eye out for a genuine.
Actually...
I've got a nagging feeling, Tangers Orange was available as an off-the-shelf colour in 02/03 or there abouts. Certainly, you could get the limited edition D2 in Orange.
Little bit of trivia: The '09 cars were all manufactured in black and then resprayed.

Some of the recce cars were and at least one of them was silver when its custodian left it in the Gaydon car park to go on holiday
The D3's built for the actual challenge were all orange from the factory. Friends have one, it's definitely not black underneath (they've recently had most of one side replaced after a minor altercation with a truck). The ones sent out here for the selections are also orange from the factory. I think it was the Sport's & full fats that were black as well

Great bit of info there guys.
So does anybody know how many G4 D3's there are in Australia ?
I have also thought about a wrap for my D3, starting to get a lot of bush rash down the sides. I think so far mist of it is polish able but it's okay a matter of time. I have also toyed with the G4 orange for the wrap.
Anyone done the wrap? And what did you pay?
Hi Gentleman
I know from experience that from about early 2000 my Father had been trying to order a Tangers Orange D2 & Defender and was told by Landrover Australia he could have any other colour with the exception a Tangers Orange.
He could order them from the homeland but there was a issue back then with supply when it arrived to Australia.
But as Mike knows he managed to get a 2007 built Defender which his Dealer had manage to source while my Father was in the homeland on the
Landrover Experience Training at the Jungle Track.
Cheers
Steve
