Before the event, Greg Rutherford said: “Ah very excited. I love changing my clothes, getting out of my tracksuit for once.”
Theo Paphitis said: “I’m desperate to see what this little beauty, or rather big beauty, looks like. And is it the Paphitis next vehicle?”
There was a surprise performance by Dire Straits founder Mark Knopflerr, a long-time Land Rover fan. The classics included, ‘Sultans of Swing’ and ‘Money for Nothing’
The luxury SUV, unveiled by Gerry McGovern, the design director, did not disappoint. Land Rover claim it to be the world’s most refined and capable SUV.
The SUV tackled metre-deep water and climbed a rocky causeway before coming to a stop in front of White Lodge, a former royal residence.
