Thread: Who else has ordered a limited edition?

I am keen on the car but can't understand why its about $15K over the price of an almost similarly spec'd base Defender 90 with the right options. I know there are some bits on the Adventure edition that are exclusive to it, but I am finding it quite difficult justifying paying this premium. I also have an option of ordering a new car to my specs. Looking for some advice as to whether the premium on the limited edition is worth it... Thanks in advance.

Personally I would order a stock one to your own specifications.
Part of the fun and satisfaction I hope to take part in is starting with a Defender and then creating MY Defender, with all the parts, upgrades, modifications and so on that make it uniquely mine. And for that reason I ordered one closer to stock. Just imagine what you could spend the extra 15 large on.

Go for the grey Adventure 90. They look much better than orange IMO. I wish I'd been able to grab a Heritage 90! ...Or go for your own build and shift the whole paradigm by spending the 15K you save on something made in Australia by a young Australian artist or designer for your home. Rad I know, but hand made and good taste in design is ultimately the theme here.

I was in at Lance Dixon Doncaster dropping off an updated contract today and they've got a lovely Corris Grey Adventure 90 in the pre-delivery yard. Looked great up close, lots of neat details for the interior, different logos on the mudflaps, front grille, badging, black bonnet and rear door, etc all combine really well. From afar you have to know what you're looking for to spot it's a special edition though, it's much more subtle in grey than orange!

One for sale on Car sales!

Much nicer in the grey,in my opinion. Is that the normal price or is that inflated.Aren't they supposed to have roof racks and snorkel?

Hi. The Australian delivered Adventures do not come with snorkel and roof racks, although all the marketing photos show these.


Just noticed re: the ad on carsales - they have just put a price of $69,800 drive away on the ad.

Thanks all for your advice and thoughts. As an update on my situation, there are 3 bits of good news and 1 bit of bad news ...

My mate gave his order up as he had a deadline to do this before he would lose his deposit so I did not take it over - but the first bit of good news is that he got his deposit refunded.

Second bit of good news is that I found a Phoenix Orange Adventure 90 with sunhatch and cold climate pack, which are the options that I wanted, so I bought it straight away. I pick it up next month.

Third bit of good news is that, as I was very torn between the Phoenix Orange and the Corris Grey, I did something silly and ordered a Corris Grey non-limited edition as well - built to my spec - build date is Dec 2015 so one of the last ones out of the factory. I have no idea what I am going to do with two Defenders but I'll worry about that later....

The only bit of bad news is I now need to tell the wife what I have done! Any advice on this would be appreciated
