New 110 Ordered :-)
With the price of user Defenders being so high it was the perfect excuse to justify getting a new one and just put in my order Smile Got pretty much everything I wanted so I'm a happy (but now broke!) boy, full spec:

110 D250 SE in Fuji White
Off-Road Pack
Towing pack with Electrically Deployable towbar
Cold Climate pack
Privacy Glass
ClearSight mirror
Heated Rear seats
Front undershield
Classic mud flaps

Shame about the wait but just think of all that anticipation to build Smile

Carpathian Grey
Clearsight mirror
Grey Alloys
Fridge/Charging Pack

Should be fun…mine due in Oct/Nov, how about you?

Good choice!

I’m hoping for November but don’t have a more definite timescale than “towards the end of the year”.

Nice, similar to mine, I went for a 110 D200 SE with a few extras which you can see on my order thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic78944.html

Did they give you a delivery date? Cheers Ian

Nice, good choice of addons.

I don’t have a delivery date yet, hopefully get more info shortly. Dealer tells me that new orders initially go into a “holding pattern” because of the current situation with Model Year change, chip shortages etc… I’m not sure how much is expectation management which is reasonable.

Congrats Botanics, good options.

I was held in holding pool with my March order for the MY22 change.it took about 3 weeks to get a build date. Cheers Simon

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

Thank you, that’s useful to know. I don’t want to be the pest who’s on to my dealer every 5 minutes.

Have to go back to them to take my part-ex in early as it will be 3 years old in a couple of months so it was financially advantageous to hand it over early and not have to take out extended warranty, get a service etc. Etc.

Thumbs Up I haven't got a firm date yet and it will be three weeks since I ordered mine in a couple of days so will drop the salesman a line to chase up on any news Cheers Ian

When to you get access to the website to track your orders progress? I've seen a few people post charts that look a bit like a train line map...?

That's the VISTA2 system. It's an internal order tracking tool for the dealers.

Dealers tend to send screenshots to customers at key points - it's not something customers have direct access too.


My dealership has a similar version on the customer portal however it doesn't seem to get updated since it's just showing "order created" even though the car is now at the dealers.

Ah thank you very much for the info. That's interesting there is nothing more customer facing.

I never saw one of these either. Just communication with the dealer. Cheers Simon
