Who else has ordered a limited edition?

[Is Vic There]

Just wondering who else has ordered one?
I have put a dipper down on a 90 Adventure and have been told by Austral in Brisbane it will be between $55K-$58K which I think is quite good value considering what you get compered with the standard 90.


So what has everyone ordered and what price did the dealer quote?


Be interesting to know the prices around the Country!

[Pickles2]

Not much is being said about them in Aus is there?
How recently did you do this, I thought they were all "taken" months ago?
Pickles.

[aj90]

What date did they give for delivery? Don't know much about the availability of the Adventure model, look good though. I do know that the demand for them was less than the Heritage in the UK so maybe there are a few left, but the allocation for Australia was pretty thin on the ground for most of the limited editions. Hope you get it!

[Is Vic There]

By all accounts I got the last one, now that could be salesman talk I don't know!
I was in talks with Autral and Lyntons on the Gold Coast, the girl at Lyntons was hopeless and very rarely returned calls or emails even after I went in one day! She did say in one of her emails that she hadn't got back to me for a few days as she'd been to busy writing up deals ending the email with a bloody smiley face!
I only ordered it a couple of weeks ago, but have been talking to dealers for a few months. The heritage went straight away, the 110 adventure went quick as well, they are starting to be built in August, I only want delivery in October due to the lease on the current car ending.
Saying that they still have to confirm the price :o

[Pickles2]

But your order is DEFINITELY confirmed?
Pickles.

[Is Vic There]

But your order is DEFINITELY confirmed?
Pickles.

Yes, I have paid a deposit and had an emailed confirmation.
What do you usually get?

[loneranger]

Yes, I have paid a deposit and had an emailed confirmation.
What do you usually get?

Have you signed a contract yet?

[Is Vic There]

Have you signed a contract yet?

Yes, subject to confirmation of price, obviously they have said that it will be between X and Y just don't want it to be Z, if you know what I mean!

Well... that would be the bargain of the century!!! $ 58k!!! WOW, but there MUST be a mistake there mate... :confused:

In the UK, the 90 Adventure pricing is as follows:

Adventure
90 Station Wagon 150 PS 36,102 pounds Ex 20% VAT
110 Station Wagon 7 Seat 36,012 pounds Ex 20% VAT

So at todays exchange rate, that is about $ 70,300 AUD!!!

Need to add shipping, customs and GST... another 15%. So I would be amazed if it came in at less than $ 80,000 AUD.

Good for you though if it is $ 58k!!! ;)

[YOLO110]

I ordered a Heritage 90 in the UK. 30,900 pounds, about $ 58,000 AUD. Delivery is not until September or October.

No contract signed, because JLR still do not show the model on their computer systems here! Just a deposit paid... and that does not even say a Heritage 90 either! All I have is an email from the dealer saying that I definitely have one allocated, which is great because the ALL sold out in the UK in under 2 days!

[Is Vic There]

Hi Yolo,

All I can tell you is what I have been told, the dealer sent me this on an email on the 28th January when I sent the initial enquiry. Its a spread sheet and I can't work out how to attach it to this post! But you get the idea, at the bottom he says to take $5K off either for the 90, so that makes the 90 Adventure $59K. As mentioned before they think it will be between $55-$59. Which is good considering the amount of extras.
Having said all that it is an indicative price!

G'Day Vic.
I've got NO IDEA on pricing, simply because, as I said, "News" on the "Celebration" editions in Aus, has been very sparce.
However, $58K sounds "a bit too good", when ordinary new 90s with a few extras, are now showing on carsales at around $54/55K.
Anyway, you're one of very few, that I'm aware of, that's got a confirmed order, so it'd be good if you could keep us posted on future developments/pricing with your order.
Thanks, Pickles.

Must admit you have me worried now!

I know what you saying Pickles, I did get the usual three prices and they all said the same. I researched prices and cost, I even got a quote for a 90 with all the standard features of the Adventure as options and that came in at Just a tad short of $58K, that for a new 90 !
I'll ring the salesman today and see what the go is.


You lot have got me worried now!

[YOLO110]

Well mate, that all looks pretty good to me!

What a TOTAL bargain that would be at that price, given it is more expensive 50 miles away from where it was made!!!

Having said that... new Defender 110's in OZ, with the equilivant spec to the UK 'XS', are about $ 51k AUD. That is about ? 26k pounds... which is about ? 7 k pounds cheaper than in the UK!!!

TBH, I just don't get it!!!

Fingers crossed for you of course!!!

Cheers,

Peter :>)

[YOLO110]

Oh, forgot to add that in the UK, dealers offer about 4% to 8% discount off the MRRP... but NONE of them offered even a cent off the Celebration Editions! Under strict instructions from JLR! I had called about 5 dealerships before I placed an order for my Heritage and all gave me the same story!!!

Anyway... I am excited for you! :D

I know what you're saying, I have family that work in Hailwood and they can get me a "ticket" for discount, they tried to get one for the Adventure and JLR refused point blank, I can get on for a standard 90 no problem!


I've sent a quick email to the Dealer asking some questions so hopefully I'll get an answer this morning, hopefully that will put my mind at rest!


So the pricing has been released in the UK?

[Is Vic There]

Just spoke to the Dealer, all good, mine is confirmed and is on order due October/November. It was the last 90 Adventure allocated to Australia so I consider myself very lucky.


Reference pricing, I do think it would be in the late $50's!
We all luv them hence being on this forum, but your average Australian is more likely to opts for a Hilux, Prado, Isuzu, VW or even Holden and why wouldn't they! All of them have extra creature comforts even 5 seats! And look at the price of them! All the prices have come down over the last couple of years as there is less of the general public spending their hard earned money!


Here some Toyotas and these prices are without twisting their arm!

I'll post them up in 1/2 a years time!

[AndyG]

I imagine The importer has locked in the forex for 2015 , hence the more than reasonable price, almost kicking myself sor not waiting for the end game.

[Willow4]

I placed an order (and deposit) for a Heritage 110 earlier this year. Spoke to the dealer during the week to see if he had any more detail on price/delivery date.

Dealer advised that he still has nothing on price or confirmed delivery dates. He expects it to be July build with September delivery. But again stressed, this is just his guess.

If Vic's detail on price are correct - I'll be a happy camper !

[YOLO110]

So the pricing has been released in the UK?

Yes, prices were released on January 7th, the release date of the Celebration Range! The prices I posted were straight from the document the dealer gave me when I placed my order!!!

Congrats on getting yours! That is a totally fantastic price! I cannot believe how guys in the UK are paying $ 12,000 more, especially as they are made here!!!

Typical 'Rip Off Britain' as it is often called!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures mate! That will be a very special truck in OZ!!! :cool:

Adventure
90 Station Wagon 150 PS 36,102 pounds Ex 20% VAT

Morning YOLO, the prices are the same for the 110 and 90 is this why there is a price difference?


Also if the prices have been released in the UK why haven't Land Rover Australia released them here, can't be that hard to work out how much everything would cost!


Just doesn't add up, why would the dealer take my money and order the car if the estimated price is going to be more than first thought or am I getting far too paranoid!

[robbo247]

Hi Vic, hope your right with the prices, I heard LR Australia will release pricing next week ..... back in 2008, the defender Svx 110 was listed at $63k, plus on road costs, was about $69k...if you get adventurer 90 for $58k, I hope so...we'll all be happy...
I'm waiting to see if i get a heritage 110, still dont know...the dealer said it will cost mid $60k's.....he wasn't 100% certain on pricing.

I can't wait to find out, because if its too pricey..need to order a standard 110 keswick green quickly...drive away $50k i was told..

I think an adventurer 110 will be roughly mid $70k's..


thanks robbo:)

No idea mate!

The text in my post with the prices are cut and pasted straight from the PDF brochure that my dealer gave me when I ordered my 90 Heritage on January 7th!

It make NO sense to me at all.

My man math says use the UK pound price before UK tax. I would convert that price to $ AUD, then add 5% Customs Duty and 10% GST. Then add Shipping. That would give the Australian price as circa $ 70K

It is odd however that you can indeed get a 'Drive Away' Defender in OZ for $ 50k, which is considerably cheaper than the same vehicle costs in the UK! So that would suggest they ARE indeed going to be cheaper in OZ! :clap2:

I really do hope the Celebration Editions indeed arrive in OZ at those quoted prices for all those lucky enough to have secured one! ;)

[Is Vic There]

Oh well, if there going to release the prices next week we'll all be put out of our misery :) I'll find out if the dealer has been having a lend of me or not!

If all else fails there's still the standard option!

[Is Vic There]

Finally got the contract of sale emailed to me today, must admit the dealer is a bit slack! So signed it and scanned it back to him, asked what the next stage was and he replied telling me its now just a waiting game!


Let you know any updates when I do!

Yes this is same as me , I just ordered a orange adventure on Friday , signed contract , dealer didn't know pricing or options I can add to next week , he said the orders for the special modael have got to be in by Friday next week , they were allocated two 110's ad, 1 90 heritage , he had a 110 left , im in Tassie

I think a few eyebrows have been raised at JLR on how slow these unique limited edition models have sold down here, 3 days to sell out in the UK!
We don't even know the final sales price yet so there could be some people who'll cancel and order a standard Defender instead or what ever is available at the time!

[AndyG]

I wonder what the ACCC would think about a product for sale with no price tag.

Unbelievable process, they must have a set formula in place.

[AndyG]

I wonder what the ACCC would think about a product for sale with no price tag,
From their site

There are laws about the way prices are displayed. Prices should be genuine and you should be able to easily see the total price of anything advertised. If multiple different prices are displayed on a product or in advertising, the business has to fix the display or sell you the item for the lowest price.

[Pickles2]

I think the answer is that the celebration Editions are not "officially"(I haven't seen any advertisements/announcements by JLR Aus) for sale yet, and that Dealers are simply complying with requests/enquiries from potential customers?

I bought my X-Tech without knowing the price,I wanted one so bought it,it was my decision. Pat

[AndyG]

As long as both parties are happy fair enough, but if one was offered at an estimated 65,000 but the invoice turned out to 80,000 and they tried to hold you to it, then ACCC would probably take an interest.

I don't understand why it is so hard for them to set a price, as forex would be well hedged for the year.

Thats what happened with my vehicle,no price because it wasn't yet released. Pat

[LouisW]

Guys what the big deal with these special editions??? Am I missing something..

If I was going to buy a landy for nostalgic reasons or one that would escalate in value over time, I would buy a Keswick green with white roof and white steel wheels and a leather interior. Or an silver with black roof or a white with silver alloys...Or.... You get my point why do you want Land Rover marketing to make more profit than needed. To me special editions aren't special it a marketing con...." Just saying :)"

And frankly you can create your own individual "Heritage Edition" or "expedition edition" with after market parts and make it more individual than marketing team lead by 27 year old Richard Hammond wannabe ..

[Is Vic There]

The dealer sent me the option list for me to add any options!
The only option I could actually add is a cold pack, being in Brisbane I don't think I'll tick that box, all the other options are included in the price!

[robbo247]

Hi everyone,
Finally managed to get a heritage 110 ..after all this time of not knowing.:D

and the cost is finally confirmed at $59,900 pus ORC ( ORC in WA is around $6.5k)....so the total will be $66.5K drive away...(pricey):o

Hate to think what the Adventurer 110 will be?:confused:

I have asked the dealer to let me know what the Adventurers cost and Ill post it for you's.

the heritage 110 works out close to what the dealer said today costed $59,900 with air cond..

A quick look at the Landrover site shows you pay a lot more stamp duty than we do in Victoria

[tentacles1]

$61,453 on the road for my Heritage 90 in Victoria. About $5k more than I was expecting

[Is Vic There]

Going by the prices the 90 Adventure will be around $65K, bit more than I was expecting, reckon I'll be ordering a standard run of the mill one at this rate!

[Avion8]

Dealer called yesterday & wanted to know which options I would like for my Heritage 90, choice of 2 - side steps in silver or black, & a sun roof. Just went for the silver side steps, as the hinges are silver should make a good match. The order went in officially yesterday, & expected delivery still October sometime - only 6 months.:D

[Is Vic There]

I have word back from the dealer, just short of $70K for the 90 and around $80K for the 110, too much for me I'm afraid!


They did say that its still not a confirmed price, he's going to ACT Monday for the launch of the Disco sport and will know more when he comes back on Wednesday, not holding my breath and will start looking at a standard 90!


Do feel a bit disappointed but $70K is out of my price range!

[YOLO110]

Sounds like a typical Australian LR dealer rip-off strategy mate! :twisted:

Why cannot there simply be transparency here! I mean the UK prices were published on the date of release FFS!

The 'base' price should all be the same OZ wide. ORC's are obviously a bit different state by state... funny though how with 'normal' Defenders, dealers have been able to include ORC FOC!

Anyway, worth the wait, they will be very special in OZ as there are not many! :cool:

[tonyf]

My Heritage 90 confirmed on Friday by my dealer here in Tassie - a bit over $60,000 on the road. I have to decide whether I want side runners (with the vehicle) or folding side steps, which I would fit myself. What do you think? I thought the folding steps might be more traditional and appropriate for the Heritage?

[AndyG]

For the heritage, folding, same as Liz & Phil

"Factory" Silver (to go with the front bumper!) side runners are what you need with the Heritage.
We have the black ones on our Keswick 90 & are very happy with them.

Hi Tony, I am going with the silver side runners, as recent experience in Malaysia showed most of the folding side steps on Defenders were bent:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/637.jpg (http://s938.photobucket.com/user/jodel1050/media/Land%20Rovers%20in%20Malaysia/P1020343_zpspsl2iqac.jpg.html)

Not a good example perhaps as a lot of it was bent! But even the newish 2013 Puma had a bent front passenger step.

Not a good example perhaps as a lot of it was bent! But even the newish 2013 Puma had a bent front passenger step.

The factory side runners/side steps are just as flimsy and as easily damaged as the fold up steps, maybe consider getting some rock sliders with tree bars, eg: Mulgo or TerraFirma or one of the other makes, they are mounted a little more solidly off the chassis/bulkhead, and also would help a bit in a potential side impact accident situation. They do mount higher up than the steps though.

Regards,
Mike.

N.B; I in general do not like TerraFirma equipment, it is (in my opinion) usually a cheap, inferior, shoddily made copy of better designed and manufactured equipment out there.... However in this case their rock sliders with tree bars do a reasonable job.

[tonyf]

I have standard runners on my TD5 Extreme and they have been fine. But I just thought the folding steps a bit more traditional. However, I am also concerned about them getting bent as I have some experience with that years ago with Series vehicles.

[Pickles2]

Side Runners?
Depends what you want 'em for. For sure, if ya're gonna do some severe off road stuff, then there's probably more suitable stuff out there.
But, for normal use, vehicle access, fitting in with vehicle appearance etc, they're just fine,...much better than a folding step.
Pickles.

[Avion8]

I agree with you on that Pickles. Only reason I am fitting them is because my wife is a little vertically challenged, and I want to keep everything on this standard factory delivered. I don't intend doing any challenging off road driving, but it is going around Australia a few times, & will see lots of dirt roads, beaches & National Parks.

[TheYeti]

I think the folding steps would look the part on the heritage. None of the lr options provide protection off road but the side runners would be less likely to get caught on things.
Must say I'm a bit jealous, love that feeling of driving a new defender out of the dealers. Mines 2 years old now wife said no to MY15 😔 might have to wash mine real good and pretend 😆

[tonyf]

Thanks for your comments guys. It's a hard call because there are good points both ways. I might go with neither option because I think it actually looks best bare.

[dfendr]

Actually my current defender has had the folding steps fitted for Many years
You are meant to fold them up for extreme off road use but I have bent them many times from not doing so
The biggest advantage is that when you bend them they can be bent back ......usually with a well place kick

You may regret that.
Depending upon your agility, you, and possibly your passengers, may find access a bit inconvenient?

Guys what the big deal with these special editions??? Am I missing something..

If I was going to buy a landy for nostalgic reasons or one that would escalate in value over time, I would buy a Keswick green with white roof and white steel wheels and a leather interior. Or an silver with black roof or a white with silver alloys...Or.... You get my point why do you want Land Rover marketing to make more profit than needed. To me special editions aren't special it a marketing con...." Just saying :)"

And frankly you can create your own individual "Heritage Edition" or "expedition edition" with after market parts and make it more individual than marketing team lead by 27 year old Richard Hammond wannabe ..

Yes you are (missing something). Factory special editions are more valuable to collectors.

To enjoy, build your own. To collect, seek out the special editions.

I went to my local Dealer today
The figures quoted by robbo are yet to be confirmed by Landrover Australia but are likely to be correct
The worring thing for me is that the price of an Adventure 110 would put in the luxury car Bracket and have a further approximate $4000 Tax added to it

[YOLO110]

Don't worry mate...

Even the worst tax man would never use the word 'Luxury' and 'Defender' in the same sentence! :>)

I've been told that they are still classed as a commercial vehicle and LCT does not apply!

[Is Vic There]

So I have a good talk to the dealer and he has said that even he didn't think that the 90 Adventure would come in at the price it has, he has reworked his figures and come back with $67,960 on the road. I've also asked for a price of the following -

Land Rover 90
Keswick Green / white roof
Body colour wheel arches
Silver side runner
Premium leather seats P6
Vinyl wheel cover
Rubber matts
Load space matt.


He's come back with a price of $52K on the road
If I can get my company through the corporate discount programme they will include all the maintenance for of charge for 3 years, this would help as I'm going to put the car on a novated lease. I'm going to go for one of them but have to now wait for the lease bloke to come back to me with the figures! looking at residual values I can't see the limited edition coming down in value that much, what do you lot think?

[AndyG]

Historically, Defenders have held their value well, so you should be right,
So you have saved $15,000 and still getting a well optioned unit . :)
If you are contemplating things like a wheel carrier or bull bar, lights, etc, consider getting them dealer fitted and rolled into the lease.

I would also include:
Dual Finish Alloys.
Cold climate Pack. (Heated seats, front screen etc)
Ribbed aluminium Undershield ( P/N lr008247)..originally introduced as standard on the SVX Defender,..looks good & tidies up the front of the vehicle!
You might as well do it right & make it "A hamburger with the lot"!
Pickles.
Have you got the latest 2015 Defender catalogue AND separate 2015 Spec Sheet?

[robbo247]

Hi Vic, if you can afford it....go for the Adventurer 90....because it
will be on your mind if you let it go....these are supposed to be the last
LE defenders ...and will hold their values...

Im going to use the heritage 110 for work and play...Ill have all my work tools in it to the max...and I'll look after it well......

the LE defenders cost more than the standard defenders, but they are so cool....

I was going to get a standard 110 , if I couldnt get a heriitage 110...

ciao

With the Corporate deal, it includes the front mats for your car so you can minus that from the price! :)

[Is Vic There]

Had a long hard look at them both and am more than likely going to go for the Adventure, it's a bit out of the car allowance I have but am willing to pay the extra couple of grand a year to get the one I wanted.
Just a bit worried about committing with how business is at the moment,mbut saying that I've takin plenty of risks in my life so stuff it!

[PAT303]

I did the same with my X-Tech,it was $5,000 more than a standard white one but I thought how often do I buy a brand new defender?,stuff it,it's only 5K and I'd loose that on a joe average vehicle as soon as I drove off the lot.Four years later I'm really glad I did. Pat

[DefenderSte]

Well who ever gets one in NZ they are very lucky as I was chatting to one of the sales guys in Land Rover dealership in Wellington a couple of weeks ago and he was telling me that NZ has been aliocated 10 and according to him thats it unless you were to import one off your own back....:o:o

[simon1980]

Hi there,


First post...


I have a Heritage 90 on order. I can also confirm I have absolutely no details on it to share, as the dealer hasn't shared anything as yet...I have found far more info on this forum in 5mins!


I've wanted a 90 for several years, but just couldn't resist the Heritage. Almost every car on the road nowadays seems to be no more than a "white good" to me...but not this!


My dad drove 110's whilst I was growing up, and I see this as carrying on a family tradition. Very excited!

Hello my friend, How's your order going?
I'm still wading through those magazines!
Martin.

[dfendr]

Hi PIckles 2
Order confirmed as 110
Waiting for final pricing ..........i think they are quite dear but SWMBO says if I don't buy one I will regret it
Actually it will be roughly 50% more than what I paid for my xtreme 16 yrs ago
So allowing for inflation I suppose that's reasonable

Keep reading the mags

[Pickles2]

Ya can't argue with SWMBO, but She's right anyway, ..aren't they always?

Anyone got any price updates?
Does anyone know how many are being imported to Aus?

I read an article where some communications manager for LR Aus was quoted:


"Globally, 2654 Heritage models will be available and 2277 Adventures. Krieger is hopeful Australia will get ?about 100? of each."


Cheers for the direction to spec dfendr - very helpful (and one step ahead of the dealer...).

[Wheatos]

I picked up my new 110 yesterday from Macarthur LR and I asked about the LE's. They got a 90 Heritage and 110 Adventure, which cost $68k drive away (sorry, I didn't asked about the 90 cost). Needless to say both cars were in high demand.

He also said they won't get another shipment of Defenders until Sept, and the black sawtooth alloys are no longer available as they're completely out of stock.

[Is Vic There]

110 Adventure, which cost $68k drive away



Bloody hell, that can't be right or I'm well getting shafted, I'm paying $68 for a 90! Are you sure that's not a Heritage?


This is the reason I'm asking these questions, I think the dealers are just naming the price!

[dfendr]

According to the Defender 2 forum there were 2 limited edition models bound for Australia in early April
I would suspect that after they arrive JRA will do a press release and announce final Pricing

[Landybitz]

Seems theres a few 110 Adventure's now up for grabs here ( QLD ) cancelled orders due to the very silly pricing.

There seems to confusion on pricing.
What drive away pricing do you have for the 110 Adventure?

That's what I have been quoted for the 90 - here's the email!
Also asked for a price on a Standard 90!
Do you think the Dealers are making up the prices?

68K

Did a bit of investigating today, rang a few dealers round the Country and found out the actual LR Australia prices!


Adventure 90 $61,900
Adventure 110 $68,900


+ On roads cost for whatever state you live in and these do change!


A dealer in Vic offered me a 90 Adventure for $69,300 drive away, so the deal I have for $67,960 is about right!
All dealers allocations have gone, there is 200 of the Adventure and Heritage coming in to Australia, however after some interesting conversations most dealers did admit that people were getting their money back and buying standard 90's with a few options. One salesman did say he couldn't blame people but they are very well equipped, he told me that the 'Autobiography' version sold out within days in the UK and LR Australia decided to not bring this model in as it would have been around the $100K mark!


So, I've still got to decide on which way to go!

Hi Is Vic There. Is there any information on the pricing of a Heritage Edition. I have a 110 on order

Sorry mate, I was being very selfish and only enquired about the Adventure, I was undercover and didn't want arouse suspicion!

Yep as said some people have got refunds. Saying that how can you get a refund if its part of a deposit. Or do you get it if you swop to another vehcile?

Can't speak for others, but my deposit was subject to price, if I didn't like the price I'd get a full refund. I do feel the dealer has given me a very fair price on the standard 90 especially with the options I wanted and I have just got confirmation that my application for the corporate discount program has been accepted, so three years free servicing, result!

Looking through Defenders on "Carsales" today, I noticed that a N.S.W. Dealer has an Adventure 90 listed for sale, delivery October, but no images or pricing.

[simon1980]

With a Heritage 90 on order, I had a think about options, and think I'll just go with Cold Pack. I decided against the side runners (for now) - am I mad? And I just don't think a sunroof is worth it.


So, now on to thinking about some (basic) mods. Mulgo seat extensions are a must (I'm tall), as are upgraded headlights (I understand). I have also carefully noted the various jobs that will need to be done over time from other threads - what an amazing resource this forum is!


I realise most Heritage's will never leave the tarmac, but I'll be wanting to go off road pretty much immediately. Nothing over the top, but some reasonably challenging day tracks. I'm a bit worried about no steering guard - would it be recommended to get one fitted? Is there a good quality, but "low key" one that will look OK with the Heritage?


Anything I should think about protection wise?


Cheers for any help...I have a long journey ahead of me!


Simon

[Tombie]

Mrs Tombie had her shiny new 90 offroad in almost stock trim (had Rijidij from bar and that was it) in under 1250km...

Remembering that the first 1200km was the drive from the dealer to our house ;)

In stock trim they are bloody impressive... a bit of protection wont go astray - in the meantime just watch for big rocks and avoid making them meet the steering rod :D

[Avion8]

Hi Simon,

I did order the silver side steps for mine, mainly because the wife is a little on the short side. Didn't bother with the sunroof & have ordered the tow pack, paint/upholstery protection & that is it. We intend dragging a caravan around Australia with this & I will also carry my RV5 Oztent on Thule bars for the tracks we can't or don't want to take the caravan down.

Cheers Nigel

[mickygee]

i ordered cold climate pack and side steps for mine - side steps are good at stopping other car doors from contacting mine:)
climate pack was purely for the front windscreen demister - i must be a heavy breather when driving but i all my cars tend to fog up, especially at night and i hate having air con on all the time..

[simon1980]

Cheers all! Cold Climate pack is a must - I had a Ford with the heated windscreen back in the UK, and it is a great piece of kit.


I may go for some side steps...I too have a short wife!


Avion8, do you mind me asking how much the tow pack was? I have been reading up on fitting a towbar (not straightforward, as always!), and it looks like the OEM part is best.


Simon

[Avion8]

Hi Simon,

No confirmed costings for the vehicle or the steps/tow pack, but I did get a discount on the paint/interior fabric protection. I probably should follow up on the costings, but have dealt with this dealership for years & have some faith in them.

Nigel

[EastFreo]

I think side steps are a must. Didn't worry in the end about the sun roof and glad I was talked out of it. To be honest didn't notice the cold climate pack. But my heater is crazy hot so not sure I would need it anyway!

[AndyG]

I went the sunroof, partially because it's not really an after market option. I keep it cranked open about 1cm to let hot air out, esp when parked with the fridge on, and yes you could do that with the windows.
But it can be a pain with the sun directly above. I was advised not to tint it, as the glass could crack, which I don't understand, anyone? I may ask the tinter why.

[Is Vic There]

So how much has everyone paid for their LE's?

[MrLandy]

I went the sunroof ... I was advised not to tint it, as the glass could crack, which I don't understand, anyone?.

Hey Andy G, I had my sunroof re-tinted with dark 99% UV tint. Massive difference to comfort inside. No problems so far, not sure how glass could crack? Mine came with sunroof. I wouldn't have ordered it. Defeats the purpose of all vertical glass to some extent, which is one of Defenders leading design characteristics in a hot climate. But the heavy tint works well and it's nice to have the light and breeze from above while slowly roving through the bush or on the coast (too noisy at highway speeds). Enjoy!

[simon1980]

OK, silver side steps it is!


No price yet. Hell, I had to tell the dealer what the options were! All part of the fun...

I've got my 90 Adventure for $67,960 drive away with no options, the only options I could opt for was a sun roof and the cold climate pack, being in Qld I didn't want/need either. I could opt for side steps but that would mean removing the under body protection, the only thing I want is a tow bar which I'm looking into at the moment.

[tonyf]

After a lot of agonising, I decided to go for side runners on my Heritage 90. Getting factory fitted is much cheaper than buying them as an accessory.

Thanks, A good friend of mine has bought an Adventure from them. I haven't been there, but it's been mentioned on here that the Service Manager "Mike"?, an Englishmann, knows his Defender stuff!
We bought our 90 a year or so ago from ULR, don't know what allocation they were given, must pop in & see what they got. Anybody bought a celebration from ULR?

Let us know what you think,....A good Service Manager can, sometimes, make a lot of difference to favourable Defender ownership. ULR were very good to us, particularly when relating to us as to what we required during the pre delivery process.

I had a disappointing conversation with the dealer at the end of last week. I placed an order for an Heritage 110 and paid a deposit in January. I thought I was sweet. When I enquired of the dealer last week as to pricing and delivery he gave me the sad news that they were allocated no 110s either Heritage or Adventurer. He even ventured to say that possibly no 110s made it to Australia. Is anyone able to confirm this ?

[Tombie]

Well no secrets from me, not interested in that sort of stuff, I just put it up because I heard there was one there, and so that if someone was looking for one, they could make an enquiry?

Hi all, I wonder if somebody could help me...


I have a Heritage 90 on order, and am getting VERY excited. However, I started a new job today, and all the parking is underground. The height n the entrance is 2.1M max. Now, I had a look in the most recent brochure, and the height of a Defender is stated at 2000-2180mm (depending on tyre and suspension set up). Would anyone know what height a Heritage 90 (on heavy duty wheels / heavy duty suspension and Conticross tyres) would come in at?


Please bring positive news...

[Avion8]

Hi Simon,

I measured my 110 Xtreme with a Thule roof bar on the back & it came in at 2.16 mtrs. I did this in preparation for my 90 Heritage which will wear these roof bars & hopefully fit in my garage which is 2.20. Will do a trial run with the 110 which should be the same height - I hope.

Nigel

[Is Vic There]

That's a point, would the 90 adventure be the same height?

Also, the 90 adventure comes with the 150 engine but doesn't come with a roof rack or snorkel, right?

[EastFreo]

I had the same concerns when I bought my 110 last year as my work car park is 2.1m. Fortunately there are about three other regular Defender drivers in there so I knew it should get in but I was still worried.

In th end I found I literally just squeezed in. Where it looks really scary is when you start to go back down the down ramps!

It also caused me a lot of angst about roof racks etc. I would really like the Frontrunner one but even those are too high.

Have ended up with the Thule removable roof bars. Very happy with them and they go on and off pretty fast.

[Is Vic There]

Went in to see the Brisbane dealer today to get some sort of confirmation, must admit since I have placed my order he seems to have become not as helpful! After asking a few questions I got the impression that he just wanted me to go so he could sell some more Rang Rovers!
Anyway, he did not know anything about the Landmark edition and said it was not coming to Australia.
He did not think the 90 Adventure would have the 150hp engine fitted as it was not in any of his LR sales information.
The Australia Adventure would not have the snorkel and roof rack.
When questioned on the delivery date he said it was due to hit the production line in August and was due down here mid to late October.
He also said that LR Australia will stop taking orders for the Defender on the 30th of June and the option list is decreasing vapidly!

[loneranger]

I'm not sure of the heights of the Limited edition models but our 90 is not as tall as the 110 at the back. They do have different tyres but part of it is also the rear overhang on the 90 from the suspension to the rear is less so given the car slopes down from the back it is always going to be slightly lower.

I have an MY12 110 it's stock standard still running original tyres not sure of the height difference at the rear between that and a 90 but it doesn't fit in the car park in Argyle St Hobart that has a maximum height of 2.1 metres. Found out the hard way, set the alarm off three cars behind me, six point turn in the entrance over the concrete strip in the middle. Wouldn't stop me buying a heritage. Full tank of diesel and maybe half a gym set in the back. Or you could try a set of air bags from a p38 heard they're great.

Those of you that ordered one from Southern Cross Land Rover
Be advised they are now in the hands of the Receivers
I payed my deposit last Friday on a new 90 and to day find out it went in to the hands of the receivers on Monday And the receiver will not be released it from holding yards put simple i can say good bye to the deposit or wait and get back 10 cents in the dollar maybe ??

Sorry to hear this, hope you get something sorted out.

IMHO, you put your deposit on a particular item. See your solicitor, if the dollars are enough to warrant it.

Pickles.

To build on Pickles comment, surely if the deposit was for a vehicle in the holding yard then selling the vehicle you've put the deposit on to you puts more kitty in the bank to settle with the other creditors.

Has the dealership stopped trading completely or has the receiver taken over with a view to try and trade out of the receivership?

Who's got your deposit the receivers or the dealer?

[LouisW]

I would be very surprised if LRJ don't stand surity behind your deposit, the cost to honer the deposit would be far less than the potential brand damage to LRJ Aus

Just did a quick google search

Southern Cross Automotive goes into receivership | Toowoomba Chronicle (http://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/southern-cross-automotive-group-placed-receivershi/2658823/)
This article indicates the receivers intend to trade the business and sell as a viable dealership with no effect for customers. Maybe those on that side of the country may no more.

[tonyf]

I would have thought if you put a deposit on the vehicle, then it is legally yours, especially if you signed a contract. Consider the alternative scenario where you paid a deposit and then didn't want the vehicle. I think they would be very quick to say "sorry mate, the vehicle is yours and if you don't want it, you will lose the deposit". I think it is worth looking at the legal angles.

Received my build date info this afternoon. My Heritage 90" goes into production on 7th July, & is scheduled for delivery 30th October here in Perth, but could be a couple of weeks earlier. Will have to start my countdown - that is 145 days!:)

[Avion8]

Thanks Pickles, But I ordered this on 12th January - that is a very long wait. Couple of my friends have recently ordered Keswick Green Defenders, one a 90" & the other a 110" , they both get theirs in August. I will not wish my life away, I just won't.... Is it October yet?

[Is Vic There]

So is JLR producing the Heritage first then then the Adventure, would make sence with the different colours and specs. On another note are there any left in Australia, just curious!

[EastFreo]

The worst part of the wait for me was the two to three weeks it took to get off the docks here in Freo and ready for me to pick up. There was quite a delay in Oct last year. Hopefully for you it goes through a bit faster!

[Avion8]

Eastfreo, Lets just hope the car carrier doesn't fall over! Actually away for a couple of weeks in October so hope it is not too early.

Vic, I have no idea which order the celebration series are being produced in. Seems some are already receiving Autobiography & Adventure models on the other side of the planet. I also have no idea if any are left in Australia.

[Is Vic There]

I've seen on other sites that people are getting the Autobiography's delivered didn't see any Adventurers, really want to see some inside shots and a 90 Adventure! The Autobiography's interior is very nice indeed.

Hi all, I wonder if somebody could help me...


I have a Heritage 90 on order, and am getting VERY excited. However, I started a new job today, and all the parking is underground. The height n the entrance is 2.1M max. Now, I had a look in the most recent brochure, and the height of a Defender is stated at 2000-2180mm (depending on tyre and suspension set up). Would anyone know what height a Heritage 90 (on heavy duty wheels / heavy duty suspension and Conticross tyres) would come in at?


Please bring positive news...


Simon

Positive news...

You will be fine!! :D

My Puma 110 fits in my garage with a 2.10m clearance advertised...

The 90 is quite a bit shorter in height too! :cool:

So, no worries!

[Oldfart]

I had a disappointing conversation with the dealer at the end of last week. I placed an order for an Heritage 110 and paid a deposit in January. I thought I was sweet. When I enquired of the dealer last week as to pricing and delivery he gave me the sad news that they were allocated no 110s either Heritage or Adventurer. He even ventured to say that possibly no 110s made it to Australia. Is anyone able to confirm this ?

Hi All,
I posted this previously. Since then I have confirmed that I was first on the list with what I believe to be the biggest dealer in Australia. Yet they have received no allocation and I miss out. Bummer!
I have made some more enquiries and I am told from what I believe to be a reliable source at there will be all of about 15 Heritage 110's and 70 Heritage 90's coming to Australia. That is all! Guess I will not be the only one disappointed.
The dealer is however arranging a refund of the deposit.

[Is Vic There]

Sorry to hear that, in a previous post on one of the threads on here someone mentioned that there was some Adventures available, would this be an option for you?

Did your source tell you how much many adventure are coming in to Oz?

[Oldfart]

Mate, sorry no. The enquiry was only so far as the Heritage editions are concerned

Just found out that my car has a build date of 24th July, which is the day before my Birthday!

Had a panick attack today, couldn't remember what colour leather I had ordered and had to check. The dealer said that he wasn't sure and would get back to me but we had still time to change! Looked at the brochure and tried to find some interior pictures of the Adventurer, so it was black/black black/red black/grey and black/tan, liked the Black and Tan but played safe and stuck with the black on black, basically due to the lack of pictures and thought this was the best option for the orange paint!

What has everyone else gone for or what would you have done? Still time to change and I'm still not 100% sure, guess I need some reassurance!

I would have gone for the black on black. I ordered a 90 before the Heritage was announced and saw it recently at the dealer's with black on black leather - looks great.

For my 110, which now has 2000km, I got the premium seats in black/grey (ebony/lunar) and it looks awesome. Was going for black/black but a mate of mine who has a fine taste for premium cars said the contrast would be awesome. And it is, particularly with my ebony headliner.

Edit- I might add that my entire colour scheme is Corris Grey and black - right down to the all black hi lift Jack! But with your orange, black/black will look great.

I spoke to my dealer today. He advised their dealership has not been given specific build dates for the Heritage models yet - however delivery will be November.

He suspects (suspects only) that the Heritage may be the last builds. Thats all the info he has at the moment.

Pickles ever thought of buying the 2014 Range Rover V8 diesel motor from one that had been written off and fitting it in you 90 with the auto box??? I had the old 3.9 V8 rover motor with auto box out of a disco fitted to my 90, 12 years ago and it worked well. I did not every measure the lt/100km as I loved it to much to acknowledge the negative side. However the V8 diesel should be reasonable.

[Pickles2]

Louis, Being an old "V8 Man" for years, I've owned a few!, so yes I do get those "thoughts", but they are only thoughts as far as the Defender is concerned, because as our Defender is relatively new, & I'm happy with it, I don't want to mess with it.
But, if I had unlimited dollars, it would probably be an LS3 V8 that I would fit,..450 HP & around 570Nm would be pretty good I reckon. But, I repeat, totally out of the question for me!
Pickles.

^^^^^^^ I was talking to the salesman today at Austral in Brisbane, said that I would prefer to have delivery towards the end of November, he did mention that he had two 90 Aventures allocated but not sold, could be worth a call?

[Is Vic There]

Just to give you the heads up, been into Austral Land Rover in Brisbane this morning and checked the state of play on the delivery of my 90 Adventure. It's built and on the water. This is a bit quick for me so I have managed to change to another 90 that will be built in October, this suits me better and will get here in at some point in December.
So there is a 90 Adventure on the water that's available, just thought I'd post this if anyone was interested.

[tonyf]

Are you sure that the Adventure will be 150HP? The 16MY spec sheet indicates the same engine in Adventure and Heritage, 90 and 110. i.e., 2.2 litre 4 cylinder diesel, no further info but no indication that there is any difference between the models.

[Pickles2]

150HP engine in Adventure 90 & Autobiography.
Pickles.

[Marty90]

Is there something different with the 150HP engines? You can achieve that with a remap of the ECU.A new intercooler will give you 170HP.Just asking.

[Is Vic There]

I've ordered a 90 Adventure and must admit am not 100% convinced that it will come with an uprated engine, I know the Autobiography does but have not seen any JLR info confirming that the 90 Adventure will as well!


Could be wrong, most of the time I am!

[Pickles2]

ATAIK, it's only an ECU enhancement to get the 150HP, & I think I've read that there is an uprated clutch fitted too.
And you're right about the 170HP,..plenty of tuners can provide that, & more.
Still, 150HP from the factory, would be nice.

Same engine. Just a different ECU map. Same intercooler afaik too.

Yes, in the UK, BAS and Alive both offer the same and more.

That level of power increase is 'nothing' really. There is SO much more available from the engine whilst still being totally reliable! :)

I knew that no 110s were getting 150HP, (could never work out why) nor was the Heritage in any configuration, but I always thought that the Adventure 90 would have 150HP!!......which is the only model that I thought with it (150HP) that was coming here.
Pickles.

[Is Vic There]

So my local Land Rover dealer wasn't telling fibs!

[YOLO110]

Here is a direct cut/paste from the limited edition release brochure published in the UK... maybe things for the Oz market are different??

"The exciting new Adventure Edition is aimed at Land Rover customers who relish the great outdoors and embrace the Defender's ?go anywhere, do anything? attitude. It comes fitted with additional underbody protection and Goodyear MT/R tyres to boost the Defender's already class-leading all-terrain capability along with an Expedition roof rack, snorkel and rear access ladder. Optional Phoenix Orange paint ensures the Adventure Edition stands out from the Defender crowd. 90 and 110 Station Wagon variants will be available, and all 90 SW variants will feature a power upgrade from 122ps to 150ps. Production will be limited to 600 in the UK.


The Autobiography Edition provides more comfort, equipment and luxury than ever before. Limited to only 80 vehicles in the UK, all in iconic 90 Station Wagon form, this will be the most collectable Defender of all. The hand finished Windsor leather interior, deep pile carpet mats, aluminium design details and a choice of unique Autobiography paint finishes make this the most desirable Defender ever produced. To complete the picture, every Autobiography Edition will also feature the power upgrade from 122ps to 150ps.

[Is Vic There]

I don't think we'll be able to actually confirm the engine HP until one gets here!

[Oldfart]

Can anyone out there confirm they have scored a Heritage 110 and if so at what price? I have heard that only 15 of these will make it to Australia. I would be interested to know if any actually make it to the open market

We've got DSC in the 90 I'm not convinced its a good thing. We have speed cushions in our street and in the 110 without DSC or in the 90 with the DSC off you go straight over them. With the DSC on sometimes it feels like you crab sideways as you go over them.

Happy chappy as I received an email from my dealer an hour ago, with confirmation that my Heritage 90 SW is complete & awaiting shipping with an arrival date just 7 weeks away on 23/10, and would I like to view the car on the day of arrival, "it will be dirty etc? but I think it may be a nice experience for you?". I will be there & what great customer service. Still doesn't deliver until 30/10. This has been the longest 10 month wait I have experienced, all my 4 kids arrived a lot sooner than this:)

Great news Avion, good to hear of good service too. I must admit I'm more than a little jealous! Can't wait to see pics. Cheers

Can't see what all the hype is about. Bit of leather and a black roof. The black roof would be the most stupid thing about this edition for Australian conditions. I guess it would be easy to fry an egg in the Simpson with out getting the fry pan dirty! To pay $65k plus for a Defender alone is questionable but if you want to park it on the cafe strip and look at it while you sip your latte I guess you can justify it.

The link worked for me, I'd love a heritage 90!

Heritage 90's are green with a white roof wpalmo, and just as great to look at while you sip your latte 😊 and the price is a bargain. If I could I would.

By the way theres a lame little article in The Age newspaper today about the original HUE166. Apparently the steering wheel was both, "in the middle to save changing it for different markets" and "heck, it was so sophisticated, the steering wheel was even placed on the correct side for each market". :Rolling:

Nice pic of HUE though :) (Drive page 12.)

UK spec with A/C - at least it has the button? I'm saying no more. Thanks for the link.

Have a look at the bottom of the picture it tells you the engine HP, 90kw 122hp!

Yes, I would also like that carpet but the Australian MY16 spec says "Heritage style rubber mats"

[Olsey]

Ditto! I wouldn't mind that carpet. Curious about the part number but assuming it exxy $$$!

Sorry my mistake. The link I clicked on took me to an orange Defender with a black roof. White roof is nice. What is the orange edition with the black roof? Is that coming to Australia?

[Is Vic There]

That's the 90 Adventure, does look nice, it would look nicer with the windows tinted.

My Heritage being built this week, with delivery to dealer by 6 November - looks like same shipment as Willow4's.

Just heard from my dealer today - my Heritage 110 is built and waiting to be loaded on the ship. ETA to dealer (Melbourne) is 21 October - with delivery to me 3-4 days later.

Looks like I'll get mine just before Tonyf in Tassie :D

Wow! Exciting! Jealous. I don't think I'd ever want to get it dirty!

[El Rey]

Very happy for you. I like that one a lot.

Not long to wait for a very special day for a very special Defender.
