I post this purely out of interest to others in this new vehicle, nothing to do with me.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2023-ineos-grenadier 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned. 1989 Ninety 200tdi - Love it - Second best car I have ever owned. 1951 80" Series 1 - Love it - Third best car I have ever owned. |

This is nothing new
lt happens when a desirable vehicle is in short supply, or there's as long waiting list. Happened with the new Defender and the Suzuki Jimny (in fact still happening with the Suzuki) ln fact there were so many "flippers" buying new Defenders that LR eventually made buyers sign an agreement not to sell for six months. |

Lightning - the LR dealers are still demanding buyers sign that declaration but it’s 12 months at my local dealer. I refused to for my 90 delivered 2 months ago today as a cash buyer who has now purchased 15 Land Rover products mostly new from 2 dealers since 1996. Salesman went into a tailspin and had to have a discussion with his manager and the DP at that branch. I’m sure if that branch was still the solo franchise of the family who owned it I would not have had an issue but the dealership is part of a national chain and I was told I wouldn’t be able to order another new JLR product if I didn’t sign. I .et them stew for a couple of days before they checked my purchasing record and then relented and reduced it to 3 months! It was all to do with “due diligence” and their company ISO accreditation I was told! Total BS.

It’s not enforceable, they can’t stop you doing what you want with your personal property regardless of what you have signed.
All they’d be able to do would be refuse to sell you another one, which is their prerogative, but I doubt they’d even do that. Depends how hard LR are on them about it I guess. |

Not being allowed to buy another new Land Rover isn’t likely to be of consequence to me as I think I’ve just bought my last one. JLR is dragging out electrification and I expect that any EV Land Rover will simply price me out of ownership.

Tim,
That Munroe is Top. Defo the new "old" defender. No style just substance. Good price as well. |

Moo, that's not the car version its the commercial and hence the seats are 70mm further forward

Same same in the back on my commercial, with the seats forward 70/80mm compared to the two car options they offered Trail master and Field master.
That is also why the trims are with a gap forward of the wheels arches. Not bad as a commercial vehicle goes I suppose as least a 5 seat option is offered unlike in the Defender sadly.

I imagine that there's a substantial difference in RFL between the commercial and non-commercial versions.

Just a thought Moo but have you adjusted the steering wheel as when my friend got his it was fully out and very close to his chest!
This might help you move the seat forwards giving slightly more leg room in the rear Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free
