Thread: We've Ordered One.

Well done and congrats Pickles!

Cheers,

Lou

Congrats. I've had my 2003 Td5 90 for a month and its been unreal so far. So I imagine a new one would be awesome.
I've had so many waves and also comments and offers from people interested.
While my Disco 4 I had previously was an amazing car (very quiet, comfortable, powerful, great stereo etc etc) the 90 Deefer just has more character and I feel more attached to it already.
I know you'll be very attached soon and will be fighting with the wife to drive it.

Thank You all for your interest.
It will be Wifey's car, & it will be a long wait, because some of the options on the car are installed during its build in the U.K.
The colour will be Keswick Green with a contrasting Indus Silver roof, which we thought would go with the mags etc. The options which cause the delay are the Contrasting roof, Half Leather seats, & Cold Climate Pack, which are installed in the UK, hense the delay.
We've also ordered the chequerplate, tow pack, protection mats etc.
Cheers, Pickles.

I'm pretty sure a standard size VIC plate on the rear will overlap the edge of the car... too big. Better slim front and back.

I'm jealous!!! I'm not aloud to get personalised plates for my LR's.... wanted LRS380 - as in LR series 3 1980, for my old beast. and SHORTY for the new one.... but alas....

I really like the keswick too, although at first I was a little hesitant... now I love it.... If i repaint my S3 I'll paint it keswick too!

No. The Aussie Defender has a small "bracket/addition" on the rear of the body, ensuring that the plate will not overlap.
Cheers, Pickles.

"Keswick" has grown on us. Originally we thought a really "classic" colour would be something like the Aussie army "khaki" or something along those lines, but Keswick has been around for such a long time (we visited Wifey's relos in England in 2000 & they had a Keswick L.R.), that the colour has really "grown" on us, to the extent that we think it's perfect......haven't seen one with an Indus roof though?!
Cheers Pickles.
