New baby Range Rover spotted

Spotted this yesterday. Obviously on a personalised plate to try to hide its age.

Whatever that is it looks awful more like a 20 year old Fiat Punto.

Sorry guys but it's not photoshop or AI, it's real and I have seen it several times parked outside a local hotel. If you look up the reg it's a Suzuki Ignis. If I see it again I will try to take a photo of the front to see if the owner has put the Range Rover lettering on to complete the job. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

If he had Freelander on the back, I would then be spitting chips! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Insure it as RR, then it will get nicked as they all do, then claim for a RR, at that age it could even be arguably a classic RR….get a RR payout!

Now that we have a photo of its nose & arse. Looking forward to a photo of the Freelander parked next to it!

The best I can do, Suzuki with 2 spare wheels on the roof, Tennant Creek, Northern Territory (central Australia).

Click image to enlarge

It also has a length on PVC sewer pipe used as a water tank on the roof (a tap out the back end, quite a common set-up on many vehicles in outback Australia). Increasing the car's height of centre of gravity substantially! We have all our water on the floor behind front seats, up to about 80L depending how remote we go (have very temporarily bought a few extra 10L bladder packs just before heading out to very remote areas, they go down as low as possible with all the other items with heaviest mass). Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

My wife has a Suzuki Swift, great car, she is very impressed with the wheels on your roof and that that you take it in the outback. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I guess the Suzuki is more reliable than a Range Rover any day.

Our car is the one with one spare wheel on the roof.

There Is a photo I posted somewhere of a 3 door RAV4 with roof top tent. That was in the Flinders Ranges. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

It certainly is and if you have it serviced every year at a dealer they extend the warranty out to 10 yrs/100k miles 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
