Its Bourneville with Arabica/Ivory interior and only 18K kms so virtually brand new. The light from various sources makes for some apparently strange colour combinations.

You need to update your signature. 😄
April 12 build AB. No e-diff but they're rarer than hens teeth it seems.
Nice one Graeme.
I'll get a couple more pics of my beast and put them up.:D
Well I assume it has more advanced logarithms for off roading than the 6hp26, which does really well. So I think you will have a hard time getting more stuck without an e-diff, even in your driveway.Quote:

I agree a burgundy type colour is quite different. However, I dont know if another interior would be better. It does go with anything.
An Autobiography is a custom order above Luxury and various 2-tone seats were an option on them. The MY11 AB (all TDV8) were over $200K when released. Its more of a vehicle than what I had hoped to find but after walking away from it a month ago, when it appeared again today I couldn't leave it go again.

These type of cars do lose value fast, and so can be great buying 2nd hand. Even with my tranny problem I think I've done very very well.
Well done Graeme, can't wait to hear what you think of her:)!
I took it for a short drive today searching for bumps and patches of rough road around Artarmon to do a very basic comparison of its ride on 20" rims and CVDs with the D4's 17" P-rated tyres and quite new D4 shocks - very promising. The drive home on country back-roads in 10-14 days will be the proper test. I'm wanting the front brake hose recall and secondary turbo updated drain fitted before pick-up.
I hadn't noticed!Quote:

PS I'm pleased to report that it does NOT have a multi-coloured steering wheel!
