yep - but now watch them can the vehicle for all sorts of wimpy reasons, agricultural, ergonomics from the ice age, no leg room, poor steering circle etc etc - you either get a Defender or you don't.

I wish they'd make up their minds on the 90

"...Schenken has also not ruled out a return of the short-wheelbase Defender 90, which was available out of South Africa a few years ago. "We're continually looking at it," Schenken says. ..."

I asked my Adelaide dealer 2 weeks ago about this and they said it wasn't going to happen. Period.

I was told the 90 comes in at under a certain weight so the ADRs require it to have airbags.

Correct no 90 ever....

That's part of the reason I grabbed the 2004 90 earlier this week. There won't be any more coming here apart from personal imports.

According to Land Rover they 90 will be ready early next year, see my thread about my VIP drive day....

Juddy - your post #5 seems to be diametrically opposed to your post #7. How is this so?

Good point.... and sorry for sounding stupid, up until today thats what i was told, belived, however Land Rover told me today that LR Uk, are working on a solution in order to get the 90 here, and that it will not be too long until thats done...
