Looks like a good one doesn’t it!?
I work for JLR and have one through our management car scheme
Brilliant family car - fire any questions at me if I can help
Had a 2016 Disco Sport for all of 3 months
In that time it was back to the dealership about 6 times
In all honesty, the single biggest disappointment and bundle of junk I've ever owned......and that's from someone who owned an Alfa 155!

Some reading,

Problem I have with R Kings is there lack of decent pictures and description - facebook post is all snap chat derived with emoji's and wee stars
Fair play to the guys though as their stuff sells out very quickly
If you're going for one speak to Mark (@mcmullet-vtec ) if you haven't already, my old man bought an SVR through Hursts before Xmas and Mark was very helpful in sorting everything.
Lovely, not too many in Silver.
A friend of mine has a 4.6 HSE for sale and I am seriously tempted. It's in dire need of a bit of paint here and there, but it drives like new and mechanically its perfect.

Buy 1 of them and you’ll get the full Land Rover experience. You’ll know every member of the JLR staff on a first name basis, you’ll be at the dealership so often you’ll be getting your mail redirected to there, and to top it off, you’ll get to sample just about every other model in the range of all trim levels as courtesy cars (until they break down too) while the ‘technicians’ scratch their heads looking at yours...
My last was a 4.6 hse, cleaner than my current one should really have held onto it. Minimal difference in economy too comparing it to the 2.5 BM unit.
Called into @RubberLover today and had the 20''s swapped for a nice set of standard 18'' triple sport alloys that I picked up cheap.
Far more period and rides so much better.

Like the wheel change. I'm surprised by the economy statement though - I got 16mpg from my 4.0, I thought the tds engine would have least cracked 25mpg?
Pandering to the target market surely? I agree with you, but then that's why I sell cars through Car&Classic and not Snapchat.

Wheels let it down IMO. They’re a bit tacky and the tyres are too small.
I’m not usually a fan of modern RR wheels on the older ones, but they don’t offend me. Wouldn’t have been my choice though! I thought it was good money for a facelift model with decent miles just.
Found a couple closer to £10k too though.
Can you have a jeep for a daily, then another for a toy?!

False economy. Buy a 5.0L SC and be done with it.
