Perth 4WD show NO Landrover display!!!

[rumman43]

I have been looking forward to the 4wd show in perth for the last few months..
Was soooooo keen..
What i was most excited about was landrover showing off the new Diso 4 and all the new Defender models coming to Australia.
I search for maybe an hour before asking a LR competitor
"wheres the landrover tent?"
There isn't one!
My lip hit the floor and the eyes went misty..
then i got a wittle bit angry..
Why the **** dont they have one. What an awesome oppurtunity to show off the great vehicles available and do some serious PR work.
Me and my son went for a slow walk to the icecream van.
from there we left the show..I dont think we spoke a word for 20 minutes...what a shame..
The only positive was that I saw a few got trucks on the car park and Oppisite Lock had a fully tricked out def 110.

Landrover seem top be there own worst enemy sometimes..
Anyhow theres my rant..

regards..
a sad man

Lets face it Land Rover aren't really interested in the DEfender (at least in Aus) and I doubt the average Range Rover or D4 buyer frequents 4WD shows, sad but I suspect pretty much fact.

I went last year , the only Landrover on show was a privately set up defender.
Landrover Australia "hopeless"

Sorry to hear of your disapointment mate, but im not surprised due to the perth / city dealers lack of form. We were cashed up and looking to buy the right LRs, but in the end I would have crawled across the nullarbor on my knees rather than buy from ether perth main dealer.

Hello rumman43
Sad aint it. Landrover are just not interested or appear not to be.
The LROCWA are at least at the show this year..but dont get me started about the Leadup and orgainsiation or disorganization to even be there.
I have had a very stressfull week.
And to end up where we are is a disgrace.I shall be complaining and May not even go to the next show as its not a 4wd show anymore its a free for all on everything else but 4wd.
At least I will be there tomorrow at the club stand to smile at you all

Hey Rumman43,
Funny you mention this as spoke to Dad before and he said the exact same thing..But when the same company owns both dealerships and has the attitude they have, I think things wont change down your way

You can tell they dont rate high in my books . but maybe L/Rover Australia need to ask why..

Cheers Ean

Hey Ean
I think you will find there are a quite a few WA AULROians went south for their purchase AND servicing rather than buy local.
Pitty anybody between Perth and you that wants a new Landy.Just get a TOJO stamp on your forehead
