I think with this colour combo, the white blue balance is right. I'd happily have this exact combo, incl the white wheels. I thionk this colour doesn't suit the dark colour options with wheels, the grey or black.
Roll on it being launched. Best start saving and working more I suppose 110 D250 SE HT

I agree, almost worth wrapping the windows the same colour as the blanked rear most windows.....

Are there any interior pictures yet....thinking not.

I've been looking around for internal photos or detailed specs ~ so far I can't find anything. Seems more than peculiar for a "commercial" vehicle.

Looks like details are a little way off :

"Full technical details will be confirmed later this year."
https://www.landrover.co.uk/explore-land-r...rcial.html

I see they are also stating:

"Land Rover has experienced unprecedented global demand for New Defender 90 and 110 since its successful world premiere last September"

So as we know it's not their most successful vehicle launch, this must be an admission that it's officially their worst?

I don't think we'll see interior pics from the rear until it hits the dealerships. But you can get the jump seat and the fancy rear view camera, just hope it's the same with all the electronics as a normal Defender or it will be the poor cousin. 110 D250 SE HT

One thing for sure - LR will have to find something different (ie stronger and less easily marked) to the plastic flooring in the 110 that’s on sale now. It’s too fragile to be able to slide/ carry heavy loads on - possibly some floor rails would do but what’s there now won’t last 2 minutes if you want to put anything like a pallet in the back. I’ve just carried a 30kg Plough Anchor and 80m of galvanised anchor chain in the back of mine and I’m glad I sat the anchor on some timbers and have the rubber boot mat as that got well marked with that load sat on it. 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!

It is quite remarkable how little of the vehicle you actually see in that video, at least the bits that are different from the non-commercial version.

It does rather strike me that this is the opposite of the Tardis - large on the outside and small on the inside. Very much a niche vehicle, I'd think.

Do you think Gerry is out of shot with the AK47. One wrong word and he pulls the trigger.
I've never heard so much rubbish in my life. This is not a commercial vehicle. Period. Another vanity product.

And seeing the very brief shot with the rear door open, I'll eat my hat if you could even get a Euro pallet in the back. The door doesn't look to swing open far enough.

Was thinking that the combination of blue paint with a white roof looks good until I realised its £1,650 extra...That's just mental.

It’s the colour combo I’m going for, they charge £840 to have it painted Blue then charge you another £815 to have your Blue roof painted white. Could go the whole hog and pay £1700 to have a hole cut in your £815 roof leaving about a fivers worth of paint left Laughing

Every time I see a JLR exec now I realise why the company is so deep in the mire. That fellow reminds me of the thing where someone stands behind someone else and acts as his arms. I suppose he thinks it displays his passion in the product, but to my mind it makes him look unconvincing and stupid.
