Oh, yes, sorry I misunderstood. Actually we have a number of black vehicles in town - owners think they are great looking, but I haven't met one who doesn't say they get REALLY hot.

Its also unfortunate for the SVX that black would appear to be THE colour of choice now days.

Yes I noticed that too and I can't even see where the wheel carrier was on the back door I assume the tyre is in the back. Doesn't leave much room unless the rear seats have been taken out too.

Thanks for the comments guys, yes the wheel is in the back and the rear seats are 50% out . The plan is to get a second rear door set up standard with the wheel carrier, in the event of long trips just swap the door over. I like the boxy look of the defender at the back with no wheel, some like it some don't.
I must say the one thing that i do dislike about the SVX is the sunroof......it's a real pain, on a sunny day it lets way too much sun inside, i will look to either tint it out or have a screen made up. If i was ordering a stock one there is no way i would consider a sunroof.

That's OK - there's no way you'd get one!

That's odd. Most "normal" cars with sunroofs have a blind on the inside. I wonder why the SVX doesn't?

sun roof = blocked out
