First of all I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who have posted information on this site!  The posts have been very informative.
I ordered my TDV6 the begining of February and was told delivery will be made June,July. I am convinced that it was a solid purchase even though there have been a few Disco's with problems. My issue is the color. I ordered mine in Bonatti Grey but am not sure if I made the right decision. There are really limited pics on the net with this color and I have not seen one live either. The only color that seems to be popular is the Zambezi Silver. Although the disco looks great in silver I would like to see actual pictures in different colors. Are there any? 
Thanks Again! superlime - (soon to get) TDV6 HSE

I have the Silver as it really shows all the cut lines, curves etc on the car. Also the rear looks less blank as you can see the split tail gate lines.
I did see a Vienna Green D3 in Worcester yesterday and I must say it looked very good. The black wheel arches and other black plastic stuff made it look almost military.
Better than Tonga Green as this is too dark.
Almost wish I bought the Vienna now and not Silver. My wife wanted it at forst but I said no as I thought it's look pants... but I was way wrong.
Next time I will choose the Vienna for sure.

I got the silver, because its a safe colour. It does not show the dirt to bad, and it will tend to hide scratches. It is also very popular, so should make eventual selling a bit easier.
My last Disco2 was Rioja red. This is a nice colour, but showed every scratch. I saw a D3 in Alveston, with colour coded wheelarches etc. at the dealer on Friday, that looked very impressive. There is a french registered blue D3 living in our village this week, that looks pretty good also.
In fact it looks good in any colour!!
Black is very cool, I just can't imagine trying to keep it clean though.

Thanks outrageous. I had already seen these pics. Looks Great! Actually, I feel that I have a calling towards the JAVA BLACK. Definetely will be difficult to keep it clean, but this is a 4x4 so it should probably be a little dusted... 
Black, tinted windows, 19 inch wheels....Can't resist! 
Will call my dealer tomorrow and see if it's not too late for the change.? superlime - (soon to get) TDV6 HSE

I nearly ordered mine in java black with the privacy glass, but once I saw one in the flesh I soon changed my mind. I think it looks too much like a panel van!
I have opted for a Bonatti Grey HSE & can't wait until it turns up in June.

Mines Java Black with Black provacy glass and yes at times it does look a bit van like!
However I still love it, evryone still makes comments about it, again today I had the willing audince at the gas station during fill up - "whats it go like?" "whats it like to drive?" etc etc
True it is a bit of a pain to clean too, but it does look good dirty, but oh so better clean and gleaming.
You can se some pics of mine, cleanish, very dirty and in water, inb the gallery section.
Look forwards to your new steed.

Oh be careful with the "Alpaca" interior!!
My experience with 'tan' interiors is that yes, they don't show dirt, but they will show stains... for LIFE... no matter how much I shampooed the carpet.
Black is the opposite... yeah, it shows dirt, but it hides all the coffee spill stains!
Some have said black makes the interior a bit too dark. No contrast. I like mine.
If you drink coffee in the truck, don't get Alpaca!
