I ordered a 110 D300 with some option in April 2022. Still no build slot allocated. I ordered from Sth Brisbane JLR.

So I enquired by email to my dealer (the bloke I paid my deposit to). He told me what the status was. Somewhat later I received an email from JLR confirming what I'd been told:

"Dear Mahn,

Your new Land Rover Defender is now on a ship heading to Australia. We have taken extra care to make sure your new vehicle arrives in pristine condition.

It won’t be long before your vehicle is on Australian soil, and you get to experience the unrivaled capability and exquisite luxury of your new Land Rover Defender.

Here is your order confirmation number 12345678. You can use it to track your order with your sales consultant at your chosen retailer.

We’re looking forward to letting you know when your Land Rover Defender arrives in Australia."

Nag your "chosen retailer" you are paying them a delivery fee so make them earn it!

Patience and Disappointment are the 2 traits you need to have in spades when ordering a Defender. Ordered late May '21. Finally built 24/6/22 after many deslotted build dates. Shipped from Zeebrugge on 19/7/22. Arrived Port Kembla 30/8/22. Released to dealer 7/10/22 (suffered a quarantine delay with a biosecurity issue effecting all cars on vessel). Pick up on 14/10/22. That's about 16.5 months of exercising patience and disappointment!

Only a few more days to pick up!

Only disappointing if they promised you say 6months delivery at time of ordering.

Then agreed that's disappointing. We have been given an 18 month lead time, we have a build spot allocated, however I suspect that may change.
