What are you reading?

Have a look at Defender / Explore / Exterior Colours (STATION WAGON | Land Rover Australia). Select each colour in turn and see what the colour combo you get. Your link just takes me off to an image of a Defender rather than text.

Tony Ireland had a stornaway grey in stock, so we snaffled it straight away & everything else was easy. They had everything ready to go when we arrived up there to pick it up. Hand over was done early on our request & they had no hesitations or problems.

We love ours, happy driving when it turns up mate. I couldn't wait that long it would near kill me Look forward to seeing it when it does.

Yes, for some reason, every dealer has white models on the way. Maybe there is an oversupply of white from the factory.

I see what you are looking at but they are the standard UK photos and some models shown are not available here. e.g Stornoway 90 pick up.

For AU spec you need to go to Defender / Explore / Trim & Styling.

Body coloured roof and arches, although listed as options and upgrades, are standard on metallics for the AU market and to the best of my knowledge for any colour 110 SW in the UK, even the solids.

Fair enough. Happy to stand corrected. Not sure what that means for the Black 110 I saw with a white roof though. I will send and email of LRAu to see what they say and will report back.

With LR there are always exceptions to the rule. Take spudboys white roof on a metallic above for example.

And the HD white steel wheels on a 110SW. I pleaded with LR several times to get these wheels factory fitted ex UK but was told no can do. Had to have alloys.

The other odd thing is that MY11 Defenders are turning up without rear wiper washers, yet the website says they are standard on Defender Station Wagons. Still, none of this is new with Land Rover!

Guys, checked with the dealer - roof is body colour.
