I wouldn't worry so much. Our experience here in Switzerland is that after each real limited edition model that is supposedly sold (out) here, (the SVX, Black Pearl, Hunter, etc.), very quickly some of these, new from dealers, will appear on "autoscout24.ch", our prime internet site for cars. New and always at prices not higher than list price, sometimes quickly even a bit lower.
The next thing is that within months of delivery starting, there are always first time Defender buyers for whom such truck does not really fulfil their (comfort/driving) expectations, and then these young generation limited edition Defenders with often no mileage to speak of get also offered on the site, often via LR dealers again and with warranty. Those original buyers probably within months have replaced our iconic Defender by a lesser icon like an Eewok for instance. ![]() So I patiently will see the Heritages and other editions we may get here listing on autoscout24 with interest already. ![]() Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

True but I remember pricing for NAS and 50th was way above once they hit the Swiss market! I bought my 50th for sFr 15k less than the 'usual' going price at that time but it took me some effort. m

The same thing does happen here and it did with the latest ltd edition models.
The LXV HT and the SVX soft top were all on offer after the mad rush to order. most were at list price with main dealers and some were over priced by traders profiteering. I feel the Heritage model will be fun to own but not as collectable as an SVX or an original G4 challenge 110 SW one of the above will be next on my list. |

Got my order form through thankfully and it's signed by the dealer. Apparently LR haven't actually uploaded the configuration details onto their system so it's a 'manual form' to date. They're planning to do this on 27th February so they're very well organised as usual.

Did He have any info at all about the Aussie spec? Is it different to the UK spec. Have you got Air Cond? Pickles. (And welcome to the best Defender forum,...you'll learn HEAPS here) |

Hi Pickles,
Dealer didn't seem to know anything beyond the press release. Said he has three other deposits, one for a 110 and two for 90s. He said that they've been told to expect spec and pricing in March. I'd be amazed if the Aussie cars don't come with AC, would make it virtually unsaleable here. Deposit is fully refundable if I don't like pricing or spec.

And he is so very grateful for your kindness and consideration Steve, really appreciate it... ![]() Only here can one find that special kind of camaraderie, thank you! Long story short, my dream of owning an SW has fallen through, as I couldn't find one anywhere... ![]() Lovely lass at our local dealership convinced her Manager to hold their last Celebration LE (Heritage HT) until she had spoken with me and just minutes before I wandered in (just passing!?!) to see what's what... ![]() Deposit down, Heritage HT allocated, Ven's Dream diverted, one happy bunny, YAY... ![]() But, sincerest thanks to you Steve, even though I ended up going the HT way in the end... ![]() ![]() The GREEN One...
