My Defender arrived in Fremantle on the 29th of September and I am still waiting. It finally left the port and got to the dealers last week Thurs and today, when I called to see when I could pick it up, was told next week.

Bloody frustrating.

It always seems a long wait ..took the best part of 6 months till my 110 was in the shed,,,looking back now 18 months later. its all forgotten.and by the way.keep this thought in the back of your mind!........... it drives a hell of a lot better now with 20k on the clock than the drive home from the dealer.. and if it arrived on 29/9 you have a longer wait than you think..

Perhaps you should call your Deefer "The Tardis" when it arrives :D

Sorry… but it will be worth the wait.

It's customs doing their thing,be patient,it's better to wait than have a noxious weed or grub get a foothold here,or be done as a drug mule when a they find a key hidden it the chassis. Pat

6 months would be great!
Put a deposit down on a MY15 90 this week and likley to wait until April 2015 before I see it in the driveway...

Is it to early to start a countdown?

Thanks for the posts. Also I didn't even notice my mistake. Meant to say it arrived 29 August.

The kids have already named her Matilda but maybe it should be the Tardis!

At least today I got confirmation it will definitely be ready on Tues next week.
