She has arrived!

And again I exclaim
EARLY????!!!!

It's a good thing my Td5 went quickly - I wouldn't know which one should get garage priority.

the dash does look very modern, either way , congrat , nice vehicle .

It is the Ford based "Puma" engine, which is 2.4L 4 cylinder. Same power as the TD5 but 25% more torque.

It even has something resembling a modern dash and a 6 speed gearbox.

At least it still looks much like the original from the outside.

Looks really nice, Spudboy, enjoy!

Planning any trips with it?

Bladder problem?:D

But seriously, very nice and I WANT ONE !

Mmmmm - wrapped in plastic! Don't you wish the dealers could let you rip it off yourself - like unwrapping a Christmas present. I also wish they would leave that clear protective film on the painted panels so you can peel it off as well.

Nothing like "undressing" a big girl like that...:eek:

Nothing immediately. It is really just my commuter car and farm run about, as I have my 130 for touring. The 130 is not practical to use every day with kids and luggage (it is a 2 door with a tray) and the turning circle of a small tug boat.

I bought the 110 as 'a keeper' so if I retire the 130 in a few years the the 110 will become my main car, and will hopefully last me until I retire (20 years away I reckon).

Looks Great. I WANT ONE TOO!!!:twisted:

Love the colour:D

Definitely alluring, congrats spuddy ol' boy :D

Aren't I lucky or should I say my wife, that I can't fit in a Defender. My knees are about 10mm from the dash. I could make it work but if I pranged it, my knee caps would be shattered! :(
