I think it’s on 275/45 R22s there’s a no cost option of 20inch wheels though if you want a softer ride.

Hello, I am in the last phase of ordering a Defender. If all goes well I will sign the final papers by the end of the week.
It will replace a Hilux that I will use for holidays camping and off-roading. (Overlanding I guess ?)
So I am getting a DEFENDER 110, the base spec "poverty pack ", but with the petrol engine P300 and a few options like the off road pack, off road tyres, roof bars, Clearsight mirror, front skid plate, rocksliders ( or I hope they are, they are called if translate correctly lateral protection tubes on the LR website ).
To my total surprise the petrol engine is a lot more expensive than the diesel. It used to be other way around, not sure what is going on, but is 4k euro more than the diesel. But I absolutely had to have it, I plan to travel to Africa/Asia and I am worried about diesel fuel quality. (high Sulphur)
This for me will be a hobby car, I have small car daily driver. So it will be used as it should be, not another asphalt princess.. Smile
The only let down was the delivery time of 6 months announced by the dealer. I hope he is wrong...

Morning all

So I now have my dates confirmed on Vista. I ordered beginning of March, so it’s taken a few weeks to get the order confirmed.

Vista states build is end of June for delivery to dealer on 16th July 2021. I’m pretty sure that date will move slightly but in any case, with the dealer added accessories I’ve ordered, they’ll need it for a few days to do the PDI and fit the steps, dashcam and classic mud flaps. So I’m going to take it with the new reg on 1st September. That means I’ve got four and half months to wait.

A few of you will get your V8 before me, so I can’t wait to hear what you think of yours Very Happy

“A few of you will get your V8 before me”

And before me… my dealer in Norfolk followed a “Thank you for getting back to me and what an exciting choice!” (Santorini Black 90V8) e-mail with “Further to my last email, it’s just come to mind that we cannot quote on these yet nor will you be able to build them. As soon as they are up online I will let you know and we can start getting a quotation together”.

Nothing since, they can perhaps sell more Defenders than they can get hold of, or a hundred grand sale is peanuts.

But I’m not that desperate to own a Defender that I’m gonna go begging and chasing for one.

That’s very odd Birdy. I spoke to two dealers before ordering and both had allocation available to order. It took a little while to confirm the build date but it is definitely ordered so not sure why yours is unable to. Plenty of other dealers out there.

I just got word from the dealer, my 110 will be built in June, delivery in July. He did not give me the exact dates yet.
It was ordered end of March, initially I was told that with some luck it will arrive in September, so this is very good news.
I don't think it will come in time to do my summer Holiday in it.. but still, I am very excited.

So it looks like they managed to ramp up production.
