My New MY15 on its way.

[Babs]

Ok as some of you may have noticed I'm back on board after almost two years off, my MY12 Defender had wore me down at the time, I was doing heaps of city driving and not using it for its intended purpose. I had missed all the creature comforts of a modern 4wd so I made a bad call and sold it.

Anyways not all bad, I had replaced it with a new Colorado 7 which I just loved, heaps of diesel power absolutely fantastic features and creature comforts in fact I loved the Colorado so much I gave the Colorado 7 to the wife and went and bought myself the Colorado ute. I can't say a bad thing about them, an absolute pleasure to drive the power was amazing.

Needless to say I had that itch and when I realised there won't be another opportunity to buy another Defender again I panicked.

I read on here about how July then Sept was last orders and being late October I was disheartened by the thought of missing out.

This prompted me to ring every dealer throughout Australia, after every dealer laughing at me trying to find a 110 wagon I managed to come across two but they were both 5 seaters. I wanted a seven. I kept my hunt going I literally rang every dealer in Australia when alas I found a seven seater in SA from a country dealer.

Now my colour preference was white (again) ha ha ha, but I was not going to be choosy considering the circumstances. So you can imagine my surprise when I asked the dealer if he had any new 110's and he said yes, then I asked is it a seven seater and he said yes, then I asked what colour it is and he said White....OMG JACKPOT...

Well I couldn't give him my credit card quick enough.

So it ended up being a partial leather package with the Diamond Turn Alloys, side runners and body colour guards.

It has now been paid for and is on a truck on its way to me. So hopefully Friday I will be back behind the seat. I can't wait.

So here is a photo of my new Beast. I have blacked out the Alloys and put some Cooper STMaxx's on it.

I will put some more photos up as I add accessories.

Looks great. As I am sure you already know, you won't regret it. I have been driving my 110 in the city for a year now and haven't regretted it once.

Last weekend I was at a Dads and Lads camp. My Defender got more comments than any other car. I never cease to be amazed about the fascination there is for the defender.

Well Babs, you're a very lucky man, you cut it pretty fine & "just" got one.
Enjoy, Pickles.

Wekk Babs, you're a very lucky man, you cut it pretty fine & "just" got one. Enjoy, Pickles.

Ha ha ha Pickles yes I did cut it fine. I power rang every LR dealer in Australia one afternoon, took about two hours. I believe that was the last seven seat 110 available.

Hey Babs,,
what else did the dealers offer?
were there lots of colourful 5 seaters?

[Andrew86]

Very nice! The black wheels look great against the white.

I really didn't think there'd be many left unaccounted for in November, congrats on finding the right one

Hey Babs,, what else did the dealers offer? were there lots of colourful 5 seaters?

There was a demo Keswick green with white roof at StLeonards.

VIC had a demo white 5seat with white steel wheels.

Dubbo at the time had a white 7seater with red premium seats Black Pack. But he said it was coming in, so it wasn't physically in stock.

VIC there was a black 5seater

I'm pretty sure QLD had none.

There were plenty of 90's everywhere it was like they couldn't get rid of them.

There was at the time a 110 Adventurer at LR Narrellan and they wanted 83k for it.

And VIC had a 130

I'm assuming these are all now gone.
