Saw my new SVX yesterday.
Pick it up next friday...yeah!
Downside is that it has carpet throughout..but the upside of that is that it's very quiet.
Rubbers mats coming to cover it.
I'll post some pics next weekend.

Cheers

Make sure you post lots of pictures

I understand the front seats are very comfortable... and VERY expensive to buy and put on an existing Defender

From another forum...

(You sitting down?)




...remember this is a UK price...





...and the Aussie dollar has nose dived...

(Sure you're sitting down?)




...in excess of...


(Comfortable?)














£2,500 each


So I'm thinking my standard Defender seats are actually very comfortable

Yes the front seats are really comfortable!
It'll be a great touring vehicle for me and the Mrs...the kids will have to put up with the back seats

Saw ours this morning as well. What a fantastic looking Defender, the lights look like they are much better than standard, and those seats are really comfy. I was very pleased that the 60 and twin tone black on the bonnet and doors were so subtle. GPS and radio face haven't arrived yet so couldn't see those. I was expecting more for the ipod connection, it's just a cable sticking out the dash.
We are also getting full rubber mats throughout, protect those carpets nicely and should also add to the sound proofing.
Sunroof looked really smart,unusual opening and closing mechanism but I assume it makes it more secure(waterproof).

I was getting an ARB tow bar fitted to future proof it for eventually addding a long range fuel tank, but I hear with the ARB bar you lose the rear access step. Is this true?

Two weeks to pick up. Can't wait.

Look forward to seeing one of these in the flesh...But pics will do for now..

Get the Land Rover tow bar, so you don't lose your step. Also make sure you get the right one. My dealer ordered the wrong one before the correct one was ordered.

Fabulous news. I haven’t heard from the dealer yet. But I will be flying back in on sometime between next Wednesday and Friday. Sounds like the timing could not be better. I asked the same question about tow bar a couple of weeks ago on the forum and was recommended to check out the Hayman Reece and OEM units. I think the Reece unit was around the $505 mark (not fitted). The dealership has quoted me $1119 (fitted)….. I’ve only ever seen the tow bar in the owner manual and it looks way to low. Looks like it’ll hinder the departure angle too much. Anyone have that has found a solution, please let me know.
