Hey sorry didn't see your message, mine chassis number ends in 421, went to collect it yesterday but they need to fix a few things and didn't want to take it until they were done correctly. Just hope the quality control at the factory didn't go completely out the window at the end😬. Should get it next Friday! Can't wait to drive it!

As far as I can tell there are still two new 90s available in WA sitting at the dealers. It also appears that my 110 will be the last new 110 to leave a WA showroom. Hopefully it will be ready sometime next week.

Yesterday I saw a nice green 90 waiting to be collected with the plates "LR 48 WA"

Cheers
Ron

What were the issues, and what spec/extras/accessories do you have?
Pickles.

It's 90 Keswick green, white roof, privacy glass, part leather standard seats so pretty standard spec. Issues was slight cut in the dash so NEW Dash to be installed! Nightmare so hope they do a proper job and nothing else gets damaged in the process as its a big job, not exactly what I had hoped for a new car. The other was just a trim alignment issue that should be easy fix. Southern have been very good so far about it. Will see when I collect it.

Well I did not get the last one.

Mine has turned up and I am now just organizing some accessories through aztech4x4.

keswick/white roof/part leather,...sounds good to me.

Picking up my 110 Friday 18th in Melbourne - but I think there'll still be some 90s in showrooms beyond that which dealers have big price stickers on.
