Stornoway Grey metallic - looks classy and stylish but still decent.

Maybe we stornoway grey FLII owners have been intrigued by the FLII catalogue, which shows the Landy II mostly in stornoway grey.

I still like this colour and would order it again.

here in the US and I don't know in some other parts of the world.. pastel colors are getting popular like bright yellow, orange, pastel red, apple green, some kinda blue, some kinds red etc.

Before planning to move I almost purchased an M3 in that lovely greeny yellow colour (Phoenix yellow), which is not everyones cup of tea, but it certainly was mine and different.......Think I might still look to buy one when I move to go next to the Grey LR (One for the day and one for the night ).

Diesel HSE Automatic, Sumatra Black with privacy windows - looks the Dogs! - Managed to get the roof rails too really finnishes it off!

sorry, double tapped on submit

Decided on a Stornoway Grey LR2 for a few reasons, not the least of which was that my wife and I loved our short stay in Stornoway after getting married in the Scottish highlands. The Isles of Lewis and Harris are hauntingly and enchantingly beautiful, with a rugged terrain that seems so appropriate for a Land Rover color.

Oh, and it stays cleaner in NYC!

It's the only time I'd be able to drive an M3, because I am pretty certain it would not like many of the customer sites I go to......and even worse is that it would be the wife-to-be's car!

The M3 would reallybe for me, but I am not sure when I'd get to drive it, and all the lady wants is an old pick up truck (YES, really!!). I cdon't think I could live with her driving a much faster car than me, that I also pay for!

If my other half had her way we'd be getting only pink cars from now on.......

I'm now struggling to pick a second car out for the Mrs (When we move and she gets her license)...should I go luxury sports for me to enjoy, a little cheap run around (Golf or something, as she will not use it that much, and she will only have just learnt to drive), or as she wants a large pick-up truck....decisions decisions......

I would strongly suggest an M3

you'll enjoy it in the long run as mileage wouldn't be afftected as you said she will not use it that much..only thing is she only have just learnt to drive and driving an M3 would make her fly faster than her angels can  Do Not Follow Me...You Can't Go Where I Go!!!

Td4 S Narvik black !

I could not subit my vote! Caspian Blue was not here to vote for!

Shame on you!

Also, what a terrible misspelling of Narvik Black!

Narvik is a small town in Northern Norway, so I am a little impressed that LR names a color after such a small town, that is not exactly the center of the earth.  2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

Stornoway Grey - metallic in Denmark.

It is a tribute to The Battle of Narvik.
A navel battle in the Ofotfjord between Royal Navy and German Kriegsmarine
and a land battle between Norwegian, French, British and Polish troops against German and Austrian mountain troops from April 9 until June 8, 1940.

One of the very few much needed victories in 1940 ...wonder what Tonga Greens named after

A guess:
Because Tonga is one of five members of the Commonwealth that have their own monarch,
and the only monarchy among the island nations in the Pacific Ocean.
