Thread: Who else has ordered a limited edition?

I was intrigued to see that there's one each of Heritage 90 and 110 and Adventure 90 and 110 limited editions listed for sale new from a dealer on careless.com.au at the moment. It doesn't say which dealer, but $62/67k for the Heritage 90/110, and $70/77k for the Adventure 90/110. No pics other than just stock Defender ones unfortunately, I guess they're still on a boat somewhere. I thought these were all spoken for long ago?

I think that should read carsales.com.au (spell check changed it)! Anyway, I don't believe it. The descriptions are standard ones and it doesn't seem credible to me.

I would think it's possible they are for sale based on my experience trying to buy a Defender from a certain dealer. Pretty sure in my case someone came along looking for (and happy to pay for) a higher spec, at which point I lost out.

There should be enough Defender afficionados with the readies, that ordering one of those models some time ago and planning to charge appropriately would be a safe bet for the dealer. They can always quote that price you saw, and then things change a bit when you're at the dealership and already in love.
'Sorry mate, the manager has told me we have to include another $5000 of extras with this one...'

Also, imagine the foot and car traffic you'd bring in if you had one of them just sitting pride of place in the showroom.

I think there are a few new ones coming on this ship unless they get off before its arrival in OZ. There were what looks like a few heritage ones or those funny green coloured ones.

It's currently off the North coast of Spain heading to Santander, just wonder if that's where they got the name for the Santana Land Rovers?- and all the Heritage Land Rover being loaded were LHD.

good footage of the Heritage Defenders, lots of 90's and a couple 110's. Actually i think they were all RHD weren't they?. interesting to see that the Heritage had clear front indicator lenses, i thought i read they were going the use coloured lenses

I stand corrected - they are mostly RHD, probably off to South Africa? The Asian King is headed our way with at least 1 RHD 90". The brochure states "Clear front indicator lenses", so I guess that is normal. Just glad I wasn't out in it today as the rain was torrential here!

Yes they appeared to be RHD - hope they are coming to Oz - can't wait to see a few on the road
