Range Rover Evoque not coming to Melbourne for the Range Rover 40th Birthday Celebrations

Range Rover Evoque>>UPDATE<<

Chris Lidis from Land Rover has let us know that there has been a change of plans and the Evoque now has to go back to the UK before the 40th Birthday celebrations.  So, it will not be coming to Melbourne for the Range Rover Day after all.  Bugger. 

While the Evoque would have been great to see, there will still be a fanstastic collection of Range Rovers at Como Park for the Range Rover 40th Birthday celebrations on Saturday 13 November.

For more information about Range Rover Day and the Range Rover 40th Birthday celebrations in Melbourne, 12 to 14 November, see rangerover40th.org.au

These photos of the Evoque and of a blingy D4 bull bar were taken by RRCV club member, Winston Chong, at the Sydney Motor Show.
