Thread: New Order Defender Sawtooth's

Thanks Wheatos. That colour display thing is excellent, didn't see one the last time I was at a dealer. The Corris Grey certainly seens quite a bit darker than Orkney, but that will probably work well with the black sawtooths. And you're right about the salesmen. The phoney smiles quickly turn to bewildered frowns when I used to mention that I am interested in the Defender rather than the Disco or Rangie.

In one of my 4 million trips to various LR dealers to spy on Deefers (I've concluded salesmen are only interested in Disco and Rangie tyre kickers, as I was never offered assistance - which I was completely fine with during research stage), I found this display cabinet showing the different colours. A great reference point.

Crikey, Our buying experience was totally different.
Never been into a JLR Dealership before buying our 90 a year or so ago, & was a bit nervous when we entered ULR's showroom in Malvern, to be confronted with lots of shiny Jaguars, Range Rovers etc.
But as soon as we mentioned that we were interested in a Defender, the saleslady smiled & said "Oh Good, We love our Defenders". And the delivery process was good too, we were VERY impressed.

I went with the sawtooths and she's currently on the big cargo ship steaming its way across the Great Aust Bight, having left Freo after its sail from Port Elizabeth (yep - I've been tracking it on a link the dealer sent me ).

It's been a long wait, but with Corris Grey and black bits & pieces, I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

The Tombarra? Mines on there too if that's the one you're talking about. I've got a 110 coming in Santorini black, white roof, and sawtooths. Can't wait

I'm guessing you got a similar response to when we went to MLR and spoke to Penny

Yes Landie! The big orange Tombarra. That thing actually moves more quickly than I imagined.

My 110 is Corris Grey (full body), black sawtooth's, black side runners (dealer fit), black bumperettes (Mulgo), Rijidij spare wheel carrier, Frontrunner roof rack, tinted windows (dealer),7 seats - premium with contrast leather (ebony/lunar), ebony headliner and the santorini black fascia.

I'm taking an annual leave day to collect it from the dealer - whenever that is.
