Hi Venomator,
I collect my Keswick green CSW on Friday. I'm thrilled and really looking forward to it. My choice and very happy. That said, if I had a Heritage order confirmed I would not let it go. Reckon you'll be very happy with yours when you take delivery. Keep the faith that man!! Thumbs Up
Thanks Mojo... Thumbs Up

Although the faith is waning... Whistle

You have taken delivery of an SW, congratulations... Bow down

But would you really swap that for a Heritage HT... Question  Rog... Mr. Green

Hi Roger,

Keep the faith, I think you are only going to get one chance at a heritage whereas there will always be a good number of late Keswick green defenders if you eventually decide to go that way. Besides, you have bought the keyring now....

Go beyond, what did you think of the heritage?

Yes it was a SW.

Loved it !

Some nice touches with the gear levers, internal door handles, seat fabric, cast 4wd instructions and externally I loved the colour coded wheels and retro mud flaps.

I totally agree Paul and would not be losing the faith at all if my dosh was down on an SW, rather than HT... Embarassed

I too have been thinking for ages about getting a Keswick Green 110 SW, basic model, white roof, heavy duty wheels, and a couple of goodies, but was tempted by the availability of a 110 heritage, which is now on order. Really looking forward to it, but at the same time wondering if I should have stuck with the original plan and saved a few grand in the process.

I said to myself that I would not buy a Defender unless it was Keswick Green, and now I have let myself down!

Help!

Ray

Empty noisy space and a mahoosive bulkhead... Whistle

I know these things can be sorted, noise insulation and carpet and stuff, and even bulkhead removal, but sort of defeats the object of the Heritage, which in my view should remain faithful to the creed and untouched/original throughout its life... Rolling Eyes  Rog... Mr. Green

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Santorini Black
Roger,

Is it worth starting a new thread 'anyone want to swap a heritage 90HT order for a heritage 90SW order'

I know it's a long shot but if I had been allocated a 90SW rather than the 90HT that was my first choice I would have jumped at the chance to change.

Paul

Reading between the lines I think you have your heart set on a SW. I think if I was in your position and really wanted a SW and couldn't get a Heritage SW I'd go with a Keswick SW to your spec. Least that way you can have what options you want.

Ray, the Heritage green is awesome, equally as good as Keswick, you won't be disappointed

Roger, the CSW only has the two seats and a little bit of trim (in grey when the door cards are black) and that's it, it'll be just as noisy as a hardtop .... Rolling Eyes

Hi Nidge
I'm defo keeping the 110 xs
once you sell it you wont get a replacement your happy with.
I'm really going to have to love the Heritage before parting with the other.


Steve, the 110 is staying no matter what. That said, I am looking forward to the heritage. I think it will stand out and it's so different to the sx. I always wanted a 90 to go with my 110. The only issue I faced was that internally a sx 90 would be the same as a 110. When the heritage came along, that was just perfect for me.

The colour? Some of the photographs don't do it justice. I think it will look great in the flesh.

Rog, keep your heritage. If you don't need four seats you have a great car there.

I had assumed the SW would have carpet throughout the rear and trim to the side panels, outside of the window spaces of course, whereas the HT will be bare metal throughout... Whistle

Good to hear your views on the colour, although this is entirely subjective... Mr. Green

It is also the complete lack of options that bemuses me - especially when owning a Landy is all about making it unique, yours, a one off, which can all be done without removing the essence of the Heritage (which on its own will not be unique - being one of 400 or so!)...
