Gets my vote for best color as well. I'm partial to black and silver but those aren't really "colors" so to speak. This color is what I would have picked had I been lucky (or foolish) enough to by one of these new and had the luxury of picking whichever color I wanted. Great looking truck.

I've seen one of those blue ones^, and liked it.
I've also saw 2 of the "kinversand" ....and just though, "that makes 2 red ones I've seen".
I thought the blue was rarer, lol

I'm a fan of Rutland Red. Rarely seen. The Kinversand and Oslo Blue are also uncommon.

Mine is Rioja Red. The red in later DII model years was Alveston Red, or as I called it, Why Bother Red.

I'd jump to buy a nice Kinversand DII. And like Best4x4, same for any Rover that was in Borrego Yellow from the factory. I'd also like a nice white DII.

Yes!! Finally a vote for Chawton White!!!!! One of the best whites out there, it's right there with Wimbleton White from the 1960's Fords....Ive seen the blue one once here locally, and it was loaded with aftermarket stuff and really nice, the color really is beautiful in person. I've seen some LR3's color that look similar to Kinversand??

I had one just like that back in 03/04!!! I slapped on the Safety Device roof rack, some 265/75R16 BFG's and absolutely loved that thing!! Sadly my g/f at the time convinced me to sell it.... I then had to pass it into work for 2 years straight. Some older little man bought it and kept it very well taken care of. Then something must have happened to the man and I stopped seeing it. They look kinda lame in stock form, but nice tires, a rack, trick the EAS into being taller, and the 00-02 lights and they were sweet. The interior is still one of my favorites!

These days though I wouldn't touch a P38 with a 10ft pole. The blowers motors alone are way to problematic and $$$, heater cores, HVAC control head issues, BCU issues, under hood fuse panel that burns out around the fuel pump relay, and if you keep the EAS system you better have plenty of spare valve blocks sitting around.

I did always enjoy that EAS and how it dipped going down the road once you hit 55MPH.
