    Defender 110 ordered - Feeling excited!

    Hey all,

    So I've been window shopping and admiring Defenders for years and today I finally bit the bullet and put my name on my very own. To be honest, I'm the kind of person who always talks myself out of things like this, so I didn't think the day would come. I'm feeling pretty good about finally making the decision, as utterly silly as it is.

    I went for a test drive a few weekends ago, as I hadn't ever driven one before. I really was expecting the worst, and thought I'd hate it, but I didn't. It felt robust, honest and more than a little bit special. Since then, it was just about finding the right price.

    I've ordered a Corris Grey 110 with:
    • Black pack
    • Front mud flaps
    • Contrast leather (ebony/lunar)
    • Black side runners


    It's due to be delivered in March next year, which is a mighty long wait, but at least I can work on my wave in the mean time

    Cheers
    Andrew

    Well done, sounds like a great choice.

    So much for LRA not excepting any more orders!

    I ordered my 90 (same colour & spec) on June 26 deadline - I was advised last week that i won't see my truck before March next year also. Seems that the deadline was no deadline at all.

    Sounds great, the Corris Grey with Black Pack is a handsome beast, and the Ebony/Lunar leather looks great. Having contrast leather and black pack is a nice way to distinguish that it's one of the last of them too, since both options have only been available for MY15 Defenders. I'm in (maybe on?) the same boat with a March scheduled delivery, it seems like a LOOONG way off...

    You can all look at pictures of mine for the time being.

    Corris grey 110, black pack, black leather seats. Excellent colour choice.

    Thanks! June was the deadline for new orders, but dealers actually ordered quite a few for themselves to sell to customers at a later date. Orders can then be 'modified' up to a period of time before they're due for production. So my order was actually an old order, that wasn't yet allocated, that I modified to my own spec. If that makes sense?

    Thanks, I really can't wait to see it. I've never seen the colour combo in the flesh before, but it looks great in the photos I've seen.

    Very nice - I guess you now need to just relax and know that it is coming.

    I purchased mine 2 weeks ago and I get to drive it home tomorrow - I think I have whipped myself into a frenzy trying to learn as much as I can about it. I should have just remained calm about it all.

    Hope all goes well.

    I thought the same. I also thought that I would cop a lot of ribbing and derision. I was wrong. What I did get was a lot of admiration and admission into the wonderful society of Defender owners and the wider Land Rover community.
    Like me I'm sure you will kick yourself for waiting so long.
    Cheers,Billy.

    No Col. You did the right thing. Now you will enjoy your drive home a great deal more.
    Cheers, Billy.
