Proud owner of a new Defender 110
Hello everyone.

A few days ago we collected out new (to us) Defender. It is a 2023/24MY X-Dynamic D300 HSE. Pangea Green with Ebony/Ebony Windsor leather and Robustec textile seats with Ebony interior and 5098 5 spoke 20" Gloss Black alloy wheels.

The longest journey we have done so far is back from the dealer, although I have spent hours sat in it getting my head around all the buttons and options and checking everything is working as it should.

I will no doubt have loads of questions in due course.

Interesting. Could you please post a picture of yours so we can see what a white roof looks like. Not a lot we can do about it now, but still interested. 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

Bearing in mind that we had an F-Pace before the Defender and so are well aware of the failings of some of the dealers in the network, I have to say that the Land Rover dealers we have dealt with over the last several weeks have, on the whole, been very good and certainly the dealer we bought the car from, Hatfields in Hull, were exceptional. Time will tell if that continues now that they have our money. 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

More photos on my Instagram, link in my signature.
Pangea and contrast white roof looks great and was a natural choice when looking back at the heritage.

That looks nice. We were buying second hand and wanted a particular spec so were somewhat limited on colours, especially since we wanted a light colour, and were quite pleased to find our Pangea Green one. Black seems to be very popular over here. It looks like you have 19" wheels as well which I would have liked but they seem to be very rare on a 110 and would have reduced the number of possible cars to zero. 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

All the main dealers in Worcestershire have annoyed me, that's why I had to order a car from Canterbury Laughing

Nice! You can really use and abuse it, it shrugs off the punishment like nothing

Why do you think we drove from Bromsgrove to Coventry to get our F-Pace serviced? 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

I've always felt the darker colours uninteresting, I guess to each their own.
Btw, Pangea green has been discontinued, replaced with Woolstone green.

Yes I have the 19", they are rare vs. the 20" but I wanted a bit more sidewall and I prefer the look of them. With the 20" rims however you get MUCH more choice of rubber, whether off road, all season, or winter. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof
