Keswick Green is a solid colour (new on the 10MY).
Looks very old school but I quite like it (it's like the old Sydney County Council green).

Nope! can you see any?

Yep the standard canvas is very poor, and no its the only one LR supply, however those nice chaps at Exmoor trim do i very nice range of hoods, and i think i will be ordering a black one.

There's a Stornaway grey 110 wagon with a white roof at Barbagallos (WA stealer). it looks....different. I'm still thinking about whether, I like it I think it will grow on me. I am a big fan of the white roof generally.

I had my 110 painted in Zambezi silver 2 pac, which looks the same. It has faired well for scratches. The roof and bonnet has faded, probably because of the paint job. It was the next coolest colour to white.

there is a 130 getting around Wynnum that is silver with black accessories, like Searover's. Looks very nice.

FWIW - All of our vehicles at LRE are in Silver. As a colour, it's pretty good at hiding the scratches.

Can you negotiate a different coloured soft top? That brown looks plain tacky...black would be far far better IMHO

You think this truck looks boring? ...



I get all sorts of comments - never been told it's boring....




Nah - white trucks rock - it's how you apply the black checker trim and accessories that makes the difference...

Yep totally agree..

That is one very nice 110, white maybe is a standard colour, and on a plain defender it does look very bland but like you say once you have kitted your Defender, that makes a big difference.....
