Don't have any firm details other than VERY VERY few are coming to Aus, & that most would have already been promised/sold to "those in the know"?
Does anyone have the details of what the REAL situation is with respect to exact numbers of which models etc?

Pickles I know you want one - Heritage!! - as I saw a photo (don't know where) of yours with the silver roof and you and your wife were in the photos - some photos shoot !

Naahh, Really, I don't want one, wouldn't mind seeing one though.
Lots of people in Aus are going to be disappointed as there simply won't be enough to go around.
Consequently I think that buyers will be just as happy if they order their "own" Defender now, optioned as they want it.
We're pretty happy with ours,......wouldn't mind the 150HP engine upgrade though,...be good if we could order this as an "option" via "your local Dealer"!

I know many will think I am of my tree but I am contenplating buying a Keswick Green / White Roof / White steel rims (as this is more classic than the Special heritage one) and storing it for 20 years as Lou proposed.

It may just out perform the property market???

Top idea, but make sure you get the H.D wheels (the ones with holes!),..a bit wider too!

That sounds brilliant mate!

Go for it!

Only a few years ago classic Falcons, Monaros, GTS etc were pulling over 250k

Today they're back down below 80k.

Proper analysis of the property market shows very few people turn a profit.

Being able to ride the waves of property fluctuations can pay off but the common misconception that houses increase in value is sporadic and very few actually return a big profit but rather are a storage for investment rather outright profit.
