Hi Skythorn,

Land Rover customer services did indeed state that options would be available to order on the UK celebration limited editions, then a couple of days later edited their post to remove that information.

They are now seemingly stating that no options will be available on the limited editions, news that has not gone down at all well with a number of forum members, me included Big Cry

I suspect anyone ordering the heritage in the UK (even in Scotland) would want air con and a radio/cd which is standard for other countries. It would make more sense to have the same spec for all heritage cars?
I have ordered a 90 adventure so not as critical to have factory options. Ideally carpet and audio upgrade +/- sunroof ( but might leak?!)
Perhaps if enough customers ask for certain options LR may rethink?

Agreed @Skythorn, go to it... Thumbs Up

If anyone wants to join me in a concerted effort to change JLR's mind please do PM me for the e-mail addresses for the Chairman and CEO of JLR and start writing, before it's too late... Mr. Green

I am pretty certain neither of them will take any notice at all of a lone voice, but if enough potential purchasers of the Celebration Editions take the time and trouble to let them know their disappointment is very real, perhaps, just perhaps they will reconsider... Whistle

There is still time, but it's running out fast... Wink  Rog... Mr. Green

The adventure looks stunning and great marketing to get us to spend even more money on accessories!
Looks like side steps/rails can be fitted despite the under sill protection on the adventure. This should please the other half who is slightly vertically challenged. Otherwise may need a portable step or just have a run at the open door! Very Happy

Looks awesome .. It looks like the under ride sill protection has been removed to accommodate the side runners.

I agree cannot see the protective sill
Perhaps different spec on the adventure destined for Europe? In the same way heritage for Australasia has AC but not the UK version?
I note Land Rover. com does not list engine upgrade on the 90 adventure whereas the UK website clearly specifies 150 bhp/400nm on the 90 adventure?

This 110 is also missing the bright pack white LED tail and indicators on the rear. Maybe so it could show the lamp guards option.

You have eagle eyes! Well spotted.
Suspect different specifications for different countries

There is a >£18000.00 increase in price on the autobiography over the 150 bhp 90 adventure with not that dissimilar specification
Are people paying for the exclusivity and 2 tone colour and bit more leather? Not sure how LR can justify the price difference?
