Not always easy to tell the exact colour in photos, especially with metallic colours, but it looks more like Alveston red, Rioja red is a bit lighter and less maroon.Rioja Red I think. Last owner replaced the doors and bulkhead, just starting to get a bit of rot in the frames. The respray is very good.
Here's the BRM (Big Red Monster)...

that is a very nice looking tratter.best colour as well.![]()
Yes mate mine's Rioja. Quite probably is a LR colour, just not Rioja. Alveston is a maroon like red like yours, and there was also a maroon in use when the 300Tdi was in production (not sure of the name of it though). I only ever saw a couple of those around but it was a beautiful colour and suited the Defender well.Steve - is yours Rioja then? Could also be mine's not actually a LR colour...
