I wonder if if people are backing out of sealing the deal and collecting you’d lose your £500 reservation unless your dealer was very friendly but I would be considering bailing if I was due to collect this week. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Does anyone at JLR actually watch these videos ~ on the river crossing the footage actually captures a part of the car falling off

Looks like it might have been the intake trim too Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Interesting spin from LR. They’re hammering home the idea that the past is in the past and it’s time to move on. A reaction to the general reception of the New Defender from previous/current Defender owners and green oval fans? If they really felt they’d nailed the transition between both incarnations, and had maintained clear lineage, they wouldn’t be trying to cut ties with the past so overtly. Instead they’re implying an ‘all new’ future is where it’s at. Is this a plan? Is this take what Gerry McG wanted for the Defender, to cut ties to its lineage, it’s predecessors? Or is this LR marketing firefighting because of the overall response. The video certainly sells the ‘car’ well. But as a D6 not a Defender.....

a number of posters on one of the owners FB pages have stated they have managed to transfer the deposit to a new build and cancel their old. So it will seem LR may have even more MY20.5 stock on the forecourt whilst people wait for the 6 cylinder .. could be some discount incentives ?? yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

My first thought when I saw what he was moving from and to was ~ downsizing. He's going to have to go through an awful lot of kit he has and decide what he's not going to carry anymore. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

They look so similar, the heritage so wonderfully carried through to the New Def, I didn’t even notice the 130. Maybe.

Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it.
Land Rover Uk are allowing people to book a slot at their local dealership to see the 90 and 110 commercial |
