Oh well,

we all knew it was coming

The local dealership have written me to inform me that they (LR) are already winding up production of the less popular variants ( 110 single cabs and hardtops), so now probably too late to order one of them from Aussie. They reckon you might just slip in a last order from Aussie for a station wagon....

According to dealer still no word on a 'final edition', so if one comes, will it come in time for Australian buyers ....?

Yes, "the end" is certainly coming, although I'm getting varying statements as to when it will actually be?
I was at our Dealer's yesterday, & a person there told me that they were finishing production in March next year, which is at variance with the official date of 20th December 2015 announced by JLR.
IMHO, I reckon March may simply be the latest that a Defender could be ordered?
Anyone heard anything else "official"?
Pickles.

I'm was in the process of leasing a new 110 wagon. The dealership I have been dealing with indicated that final orders were being taken for the utes, hardtops etc but the 90's and 110's will still be available for some time yet, at least until the end of the year. As I have had to put off the leasing until about June/July, this is good news for me.

I asked at Melbourne Land Rover earlier this week when my Sport was in for a service (had a Deefer 90 as courtesy car ), all they could say was 'soon'. I'm seriously considering ordering a 90 but can't do anything for a few months so the longer they leave it the better. Really want one of the limited edition run out cars.

MY2014
Hard Top 110
Cab Chassis 110
Crew Cab 110
Single Cab 110 HCPU


All Last orders by the end of March but they did say you might sneak one in possibly up till the end of april 2014.


MY2015
Last orders for the rest of the range will be around April 2015 but if you want something custom order by the end of this year to be safe as build slots can be a problem.

I happily have one in the driveway, but approval from SWMBO for a buy + sell if the final edition is a special.

Just as long as I don't tell her how much the changeover cost was!
