Thread: Who else has ordered a limited edition?

That's a point, would the 90 adventure be the same height?

Also, the 90 adventure comes with the 150 engine but doesn't come with a roof rack or snorkel, right?

I had the same concerns when I bought my 110 last year as my work car park is 2.1m. Fortunately there are about three other regular Defender drivers in there so I knew it should get in but I was still worried.

In th end I found I literally just squeezed in. Where it looks really scary is when you start to go back down the down ramps!

It also caused me a lot of angst about roof racks etc. I would really like the Frontrunner one but even those are too high.

Have ended up with the Thule removable roof bars. Very happy with them and they go on and off pretty fast.

Went in to see the Brisbane dealer today to get some sort of confirmation, must admit since I have placed my order he seems to have become not as helpful! After asking a few questions I got the impression that he just wanted me to go so he could sell some more Rang Rovers!
Anyway, he did not know anything about the Landmark edition and said it was not coming to Australia.
He did not think the 90 Adventure would have the 150hp engine fitted as it was not in any of his LR sales information.
The Australia Adventure would not have the snorkel and roof rack.
When questioned on the delivery date he said it was due to hit the production line in August and was due down here mid to late October.
He also said that LR Australia will stop taking orders for the Defender on the 30th of June and the option list is decreasing vapidly!

I'm not sure of the heights of the Limited edition models but our 90 is not as tall as the 110 at the back. They do have different tyres but part of it is also the rear overhang on the 90 from the suspension to the rear is less so given the car slopes down from the back it is always going to be slightly lower.

I have a Heritage 90 on order, and am getting VERY excited. However, I started a new job today, and all the parking is underground. The height n the entrance is 2.1M max. Now, I had a look in the most recent brochure, and the height of a Defender is stated at 2000-2180mm (depending on tyre and suspension set up). Would anyone know what height a Heritage 90 (on heavy duty wheels / heavy duty suspension and Conticross tyres) would come in at?


Please bring positive news...

I have an MY12 110 it's stock standard still running original tyres not sure of the height difference at the rear between that and a 90 but it doesn't fit in the car park in Argyle St Hobart that has a maximum height of 2.1 metres. Found out the hard way, set the alarm off three cars behind me, six point turn in the entrance over the concrete strip in the middle. Wouldn't stop me buying a heritage. Full tank of diesel and maybe half a gym set in the back. Or you could try a set of air bags from a p38 heard they're great.

IMHO, you put your deposit on a particular item. See your solicitor, if the dollars are enough to warrant it.
