Grenadier Spotted

[Beormund]

Zoom in close and there are red marks next to the rock sliders. No idea what it is.

At first I thought it was a contrast red ladder frame. But it only appears half red??

Looks like the Red chassis option

So has there been a handover???
Or someone from the dealership out for a jolly?

Look at the defender behind. Is the reg plate ending LRO. I thought that the Land Rover Owner magazine had a defender with that reg. Coincidence?
Or I could be talking / typing complete nonsense

I know the owner of the Defender with the LRO number plate as it turns out so nothing to do with LRO magazine. Just a local guy .

So it was a coincidence and I was typing complete nonsense ☹

Looking at plates. I would guess this one belongs to someone who was once in the Navy? Perhaps still a bit of a big kid at heart? Who knows? Wouldn’t surprise me to see it on a Grenadier one of these days.

I suppose it is the option with deviating frame colour, red instead of black being the standard.

Edit spelling

My mate sent this photo as he thought I was in The Royal Oak in Yattendon nr Newbury for Sunday lunch as it’s almost identical to my spec. He thought ide got my Grenadier whilst he was on his holidays. I was in Yattendon on Friday night but sadly not today with my Grenadier.

If this was a genuine customer vehicle, then every owner would have been notified and @Jean Mercier would have told us already!

Agreed.

I think IA would be taking the opportunity to make press out of it

Good catch, If you hadn’t mentioned this, I would not have seen it from the picture.
I appreciate how the red doesnt pop or flash too much, at least in this angle. I would have expected to see more visibly the red from around the wheel wells and under the body..

There was a press day at Goodwood recently ~ Ineos had a whole fleet of the "Scottish" vehicles there for the press to experience:
