Thread: Show us your Deefers !

All major vehicle distributors have negotiated fix currency arrangements with the parent company for any calender model 12 month period, so periodic currency fluctuations in either direction make no difference. That is why usually vehicle prices go up when the new model year starts.

If they didn't then vehicle prices could end up going up or down with each shipment to arrive in the country as the currency fluctuates.

If a salesman tells you otherwise they are speaking big BS. ...

I am seeing ALOT of new defenders on the road here in Melbourne. Perhaps there is a surge in demand? I'd bet if demand was outstripping supply Land rover would not even boost production numbers - It's due for the axe not a comeback!

I think defenders here in Auz might be approaching mainstream cool (whatever that means). I went for dinner in St Kilda the other night and saw two brand new defenders in the car park, one SVX styled 90 owned by a young trendy type loading it up with his fashionably turned out friends.

Perhaps the affluent inner city streets would be awash with 90's if Land Rover could pump em out quicker.

Don't worry Manic, my general scruffiness will balance out the world!

Pickles2, yes I had to wait for my one to be built. They didn't even know what the specific colour grey it was going to be .

Thanks,

Tim

I drive by about 10 Defenders a day on my short drive to work. But when i drove from Sydney to Bourke to Wilcannia back via Cobar a few weeks ago (2200kms) i only saw one other Defender ?! A nicely kitted out 130 in Mudgee.

It can't be all bad though, all these nice shiny Defenders getting around the city, they will be prime candidates for future projects when they hit the second / third / fourth hand market

I'm not complaining - if they are to be phased in 2015, the more new ones on the road the better. In the end I'll have em for spare parts. Go forth and buy new, so I don't have to.

Just thought I'd post a pic of mine with the centre diff locked in. Just got back from vic high country did Jamison, mt skene licola over to billy goats to talbotville and back to dargo with quite a few long cuts along the way. Awesome trip the fender performed flawlessly.

Hi guys, just wanted to share the finished product here after I picked it up late May this year. Did a couple of small trips up that Warburton and Wombat forest in Victoria and decided to put some gear on it. Still need to fix the front number plate properly and will make bracket for cb radio.
Cheers

Nice!
