Default rare 75 colour spotted today

Driving through Much Wenlock this morning I spotted an 04 Rover 75 tourer in Arran Beige, the first I've ever seen, lovely colour , how unusual is it?.

I don't think I've ever heard of Arran beige, only white. We need a pic!

Arran Beige was a Land Rover colour.

I can only match the colour to Arran beige so perhaps it was customized, or is their a rover beige that is similar?

I remember Richards Chatsworth, at the north west meet, but this car was definitely in a beige, more of a sand colour, which leads me to suspect it was a custom job.it was a bit similar to the colour that was ubiquitous on allegros and marinas in the last years of production.

Definitely beige and non metallic, possibly a custom respray, maybe some other members might spot this mystery car, or perhaps I need better glasses.
