Also had a very special photo shoot yesterday with the car in a studio with the wife & doggy in tow. It was a fantastic experience & we get to see the results on Saturday & choose our gift! I was dreading this but it turned out to be a lot of fun, & Southern Land Rover did a great job detailing HUGH for the occasion. Watch this space:)

We got a "Gift" photoshoot too with Gracie.
I wasn't going to bother with it,..but eventually decided to. I think the deal was that we would at least get one photo for no charge, as our "gift", even if we didn't want any more.
So, we made the appointment, turned up, & decided to go ahead after talking to the photographers. They asked us what we wanted out of the images etc etc, & so, at an arranged later date, we did the photoshoot,...a REALLY fun experience,...about 400+ images were taken!!
A couple of weeks later we were invited back to the studio to see the results, and on the way there I said to Wifey, not to get carried away,..we'd just get our free"gift" image, and that would be it,.....she was Ok with that.
BUT, when we saw the images, I had a totally different view, because the images were brilliant,...awesome in fact. So, we got our free "gift", but we bought a 22 image album at ridiculous cost!!...Couldn't care less, it was a ripper fun day for Wifey & I,...the images are sensational, all in a leather bound album, & something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
All part of the joy of owning a Defender.

Oh no, I see the same happening tomorrow when we go for the viewing with our stylist! I totally agree with it being a fun experience, although getting Hugh in and out of the studio was a tight experience, not sure a 110" would have made it around the corner at the top of the ramp, it was a multi point turn with the 90".

Our photographer must have taken at least 400 photo's, just the dog was on form in the car, in fancy dress, my flat cap, & as for the car well he was photographed from every angle with everything that opened and shut in many different positions. I will let you know how we go.

Lol,.....Sounds good,.....and GREAT fun.
When We did our photoshoot, we were asked what we wanted from the images, and it was decided 50% Defender, 50% us. We were taken to an exterior location, under a bluestone bridge on the banks of the Yarra,......absolute fun day!!
I'll be interested in your opinion.

Hi Pickles,

Ours was all done in a studio with great lighting, half with the car in place, the other half with us in various outfits, with dog, without dog, & other accessories including my french easel & acrylics, which I got liberally coated in, luckily it washes off easily with water.

Yours on the banks of the Yarra sounds splendid, you should post some up if possible or is there a website they can be viewed on? I will if possible post some Heritage shots - if they let me, & maybe one or 2 in the embarassment section - or maybe not:D

$95000.

What were they new 55?

2015 Land Rover Defender Heritage Manual 4x4 MY16

The deal was, whilst we bought 22 images, we only got the "rights" to one, so we only have one neg.......when Wifey gets in I'll get her to try to put it up.

Cant say the steps suit the Heritage look, silver and green? Far too modern.

I think it's supposed to be a nod to HUE166 which had a silver chassis, and maybe to the galvanised bits? Not to everyones taste I'm sure, but I like it.

Just picked up the new Defender this morning !

They look so much better 'in the flesh'. Very happy !!

Anyhow, off to the garage to start playing :)

Perhaps the individual black folding steps, similar to the ones fitted to the Series 2A?
