Pics of the new fender

[Bender]

Hi all,

Just took delivery of the new defender a couple of weeks ago. rather exciting:)

below are a couple of pics I took whilst working up in the Vic high country - there are worse places to be!

21047

Have plans to out fit the vehicle (don't we all!) over the next couple of years but so far have restricted myself to the bare essentials - a dual battery system (traxide self install) to help with keeping the drinks cold and a side step to allow my little fullas to hop on in!

The car's been great to drive although the ride didn't really express itself fully until off road at which point the difference between the hilux 4x4 i'd been belting around in became quite apparent to say the least!
Lovin' it!

The photos are at Edmonsons Hut - just off the big river fire trail (out from Falls Creek). I do a bit of work for Parks Vic and finding myself out that way earlier this week thought - aaah, time for a happy snap!

Nice looking Defender but you got the wrong coloured silver :p

Yeah I know - it was a toss up - still pretty happy with the Stornoway although I reckon the non-colour matched pop-rivets they add on australian shores :angry: would probably stand out a little less in the silver!

Yes they are much less visible on the Zermatt Silver:)

The lack of colour matching isn't an Australian thing it's just part of being a Defender.

yeah right - just running out the excuse the salesman gave! something about pop rivets added to make the car meet australian standards. sounds like something a car salesman might say!

no I believe that is true...the pop rivets behind the door is something only the Australian markets get.....the ones in other markets I believe are colour coded like the rest of the rivets on the car..


I dont believe it is an australian standard thing as in it has to meet rules and ADR more that it was what Australia asked for..(apparently)

Nice one Bender great colour choice... You know stornoway grey 110's are not only the best looking defenders there also the most reliable of all the colours ... Don't worry about DM too much he secretly wants a stornoway grey one like the both of us....:wasntme::wasntme::wasntme:

No more Tonga Green :( Mine's gonig to be more valuable then in years to come then!

Nice pics Bender. It looks right at home there.

I like both silvers so sorry to be a fence sitter. Is it possible to specify a white roof? I like a white roof. Don't feel pressured to answer in a hurry as I won't be placing an order until Lotto does the right thing.

I'm liking that ugly solid green colour - keswick green. It has a certain luddite charm that matches the car, and me. Are there any hard core owners who have gone the Keswick green here?

[spudboy]

Yes - you can specify a white roof. No extra charge, but 8-10 weeks delivery....
