So the delay has worked out well for me. I chose the Silver pack and the leather seats with the red inserts. I already had the premium seats on order.

The Silver Pack is 3300, Black Pack is 1800 & seats 2620. But i dropped the Sawtooth wheels, so actually costing less than the original config.

Sounds VERY nice indeed my friend.
Can't wait to see something like this in the flesh.
Wait??!!.....We waited 6 months for ours, but it was worth it.
Pickles.

Not to mention the Sunroof and 10,000 bucks of accessories, or are they now modifications waiting on the spare bed room already & ****ing off the missus.

On April 01, I received this reply from a Tassie dealer:

"Thank you for your enquiry about a new Land Rover Defender.
From all reports Dynamic Stability Control will be standard on MY15 Defender 90 and 110 variants.

Production for these is expected to begin approx. July 2014, it is generally a 2 month time frame to ship them out to Australia, so I would expect a July build to arrive in October."

I ordered my defender in march for an April build date. Rang the dealer today and he said it was on the ship already and I should be looking for a delivery in the second half of June... Exciting!

bastard, lucky one at that.

I dunno though, I am missing out on DSC and those fancy 2015 model leather seats
Not to mention the black pack additions......

I do hope DSC has an off button, I do like my drifting on gravel

Emma has hers on order at the moment too...

It will be MY15 plated, so has DSC. Have you received your engine number yet?

We've now been told the run will result in a possible December delivery date

Emmas is Keswick Green with Santorini Roof
Sun Hatch
Black anodised Protection on sides, and wing tops

And as per yours, all the bits are piling up in the workshop for its impending arrival.

Closer to delivery, Rijidij is making one of his winch bars for it and we will stop and collect on the drive home. (We're collecting from MLR Melbourne and driving 1300km back to Whyalla, SA)

The wait is driving me crazy, and its Emmas not my vehicle
