"extreme" off-road?

Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division is said to be working on a new Discovery variant that places an extreme emphasis on off-road capability.

Presumably it'll have "rugged" waterproof USB ports on the outside... Whistle Rolling with laughter

Seriously, how expensive is an SVO-tricked D5 going to cost? I bet it's in LWB FFRR territory and no one who can afford one will be taking it anywhere further off road than the polo club car park.

The current effort is easily modified without spending a fortune on an SVO model

Tesco! Every self respecting D5 owner knows Waitrose is the place to be seen.

That's what happens when you go too far into Waitrose car park Laughing
