Good spec.

Be nice to see it in the light of day.

Look forward to seeing pics on Wednesday Cheers Simon

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you

That looks really great. Is that the leather steering wheel? I had a sit in a base spec at the dealers and the standard steering feel wasn't as premium as it probably should be.

A long day yesterday for collection and the car was absolutely filthy by the time I got home. Barretts were great and Gavin had even filled the tank .
Initial thoughts - it's absolutely huge and has definitely been designed with the American market in mind. It rides absolutely fantastic, quiet engine, seamless gear changes and a pleasant place to be.
Negatives - no seat base angle adjustment. To me it feels like they need tilting back. Lack of interior illumination. I'm not interested in mood lighting or projector puddle lights but I do want to be able to find stuff especially it being a commercial. Some of the plastics feel cheap especially external door handles and seat lift handles. Material choice is questionable on cubby, door tops and pull handles.

All in all though it feels well put together and there's an abundance of storage. Voice command works really well too.

I'm hoping to get mine on the 16th of July. It's currently in the UK and due to be at the dealership in a week's time. Can't wait! My number plate was confirmed yesterday. I managed to get one of the last D200 S models before it all changed on the configurator - and that included getting the larger screen too - which was still an option at the end of March. Your new landy looks great!

Thanks Ian, It's not got black pack - black pack is bonnet lettering and the slim bar through the grill. The commercial variant doesn't have the body coloured panel between the glass.

Great to see your commercial. Looks cool. Good to hear your comments ginjez, my commercial arrived at dealers today, got a couple of things to add. Can’t wait now I’ve seen yours. Cheers Simon

Looks sweet! Not sure if anyone else has answered this on another thread yet but just wondering if the rearmost side windows are blacked out glass or a stuck on black plastic panel? https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

The rear panels are bonded plastic but door panels are glass.
