New 2007 Model Spotted In Oxford!-More Pics!!

Expression on my face was something like

Didn't have time to get a pic with my phone as I was in moving traffic, but this does prove some are out on the road already!

Both were black, smaller headlights exactly like the spy shots that have been about. Both had twin exit exhausts

Deffo a 2007 model 100% sure of it

Warwick is also a good place to see Aston/Land Rover new models. Saw a Disco 3 running round completely undisguised about 6 months before launch.

I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph

We also see new cars here in Luxembourg - there's a Goodyear development facility, and they test out new tyres on new models. And of course there's Cargolux airfreighting new modesl from the cold north to the hot deserts for testing.

But having said that, the one time I saw a disguised 4x4, I had no camera!

Keep looking guys, we need those piccies!
