The tour is going to be the morning of Friday 15th April.

Get there for 08:30ish the tour starts at 09:00 sharp.

We are having a 'special' tour that will give us more of the Defender build and will only involve the Defender. You can take the other tours if you want.

The price is normally £45, however we are getting it for £30.

There are 20 places available I have taken 4 of these, so there are 16 left. Places allocated will be on a first pay first booked basis.

Contact info
The Experience Centre is having a make over this week so I have been asked to get guys to wait till Monday next week before you call and make your bookings.

Contact Cat on 01217004619 tell her that you are with the Defender group and the password is Discoballs.

Address for the centre.

Land Rover Experience – Solihull
Land Rover
Lode Lane
Solihull
West Midlands
B92 8NW

Directions from M42, Junction 5
Take A41 towards Solihull.
Stay on Solihull by-pass; do NOT take slip road to Solihull town centre.
Go straight ahead at the first set of traffic lights (it is wise to be in the right hand lane).
Turn right at the second set of traffic lights into Yew Tree Lane.
Follow this road (the name changes to Damson Parkway) for some time until you arrive at mini roundabout.
Go straight ahead at the roundabout to enter Land Rover through Gate D2 and report to the security gatehouse for further instructions.


Directions from M42, Junction 6
Take A45 towards Birmingham.

I called Cat today and there is 7 booked including three from my booking. So out of the original 22 people interested only 3 have actually made a booking. The special £30 price was based on more than 10 people booking. The centre has been turning bookings away as we had a lot of interest. If we cant make 10 bookings then the price will be £45 pp 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile
