Thread: Picking a colour for new 110 wagon

I've got a MY13 Tamar blue 110 with a standard white roof. It looks the goods. There should be a photo or two on here somewhere. Do a search for Thomas.

After having many cars over the years,i generally stay with light colours such as silver or white as the darker colours all seem to show the scratches.

Sure those blues,red/maroons,greens do look fantastic,but after a bit of time in the scrub,the scratches seem to appear,and are hard to get rid of.

With the lighter colours they do seem to polish out much easier and don't show up badly in the first place.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I have always preferred white for a four wheel drive, primarily for hiding scratches.

However, I just ordered a 110 wagon and I decided to go for Keswick green. I think it looks great for a landy, and with the white roof I just reckon it suits. I don't generally worry about a few inevitable scratches. Call them "fun trophies" and smile.

Good luck with your choice.
Cheers,
Nige

Nige, Make sure you put up some pics when she arrives.
What will be the delay, order to delivery?...ours was/is 6 months.

I have a white wagon, but the Keswick looks great now I have seen it around. Keswick for the win.

There are some great colours, but if ya're interested in what is closest to the "traditional" LandRover colour, then Keswick is the closest. I do not understand why JLR do not offer the original limestone roof with it.

I have a question regarding why there is a four month wait as in six weeks I will be organising a new lease on a 110 in white or red,
Is the 110 you are getting different to stock standard?
If it is different, then what items require the vehicle to be specially built at the factory?

If I want the black saw tooth wheels, can the dealer fit them or does the entire vehicle have to be shipped from the factory with the wheels?

I have been looking at Car Sales and there are a few white 110's at the dealers, my dealer advised that they can source 110's from other dealers.

I am not keen on waiting four months for a stock standard 110.

when i was deciding on colours i was in the same place as you. i was deadset on indus silver with a black roof. but ended up with corris grey and body coloured roof and now that i have it i love it. Only advice i have is get out and see as many different colors in the flesh and don't stress too much about it because as long as you choose a colour that you don't absolutely hate you'll be right
