Indeed.

Remember the TG episode of this, whats the quickest way to get a Ford Focus 1.6 to 60mph? Put it on a trailer behind an Overfinch  :D

Also remember the later one of an OverFinch out-dragging a Merc CLK. Merc on runway, Overfinch on the rough grass!

mistaken there i think you'll find.

they are very much different vehicles, diff size, body shape, chassis and of course spec.

And price....

refer to this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_Sport

and see the bit where it says the sport is built on the disco 3 chassis.
Not even comparable to the genuine range rover

The 'Finch has the muscles no doubt; I would be more than satisfied with a nice bog standard TDV8 – should anyone be offering. :-* :-* :y

T is actually reasonably close.

Vogue spec is only available in RR guise.

RR Sport generally in HSE trim, with oversize rims, blacked out glass, side steps and other obvious underpinnings of wannabe types - lifes Imps, Pimps and Banjo Players.........   ::)

sorry,

i read that as you were saying "sport" was like "vogue"....as in they were just different specs....
I think the big Real rangerover is actually now refered to as the "range rover vogue" to distinguish it from the sport. But there is a special edition called the autobiography.

anyway.....
RR sport is TINY inside, well for someone my height. It was "compact"....which was surprising. but then the New defender is the same too, because of the bulkhead the seats dont go back far enough lol
