This is an interesting development, although I suspect it won't be easily available over here:

Ooooh very nice. I think they might sell a lot of those over here, Australians like their traybacks. |

My daughter took these at an agricultural show in Northern Ireland. She also said "Button for diff lock is on roof". I wonder how many other people noticed that!

The dark one he is standing next to has a pick-up body (tub). The light coloured one in the centre background is a trayback.

I have read that the seats are very comfortable but to my mind they are a little impractical for the type of vehicle the Grenadier hopes to be. Wear and tear would make them expensive to replace. To my mind the Defender seat with the removable seat base nailed it.
I think Mr Ineos got side tracked and decided his replacement for the basic Defender needed some Range Rover style components for creature comfort. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

l think you have a valid point.
The original plan was a selling price of "under £40,000" but the vehicle has gone upmarket, with the cheapest five seat model over £70,000 Unfortunately l don't think the premium price tag works as well in such a niche market vehicle. The Utility market that lneos were targeting, isn't as wealthy as the Urban Family customer base. And they are all buying Defenders. |

If JLR had sold the old Defender to Ineos with the rights to develop and sell it, would it be any different to the Grenadier of today? Probably the front would be different. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

In the very early days of New Defender design, the selling price was projected to start at £45-50,000. Now, you will be lucky to get a 3-4yr old for that money. |

I remember thinking that price was pie in the sky at the time, even back then that was cheaper than a high-spec double cab pick-up. To think they could sell something with a BMW 6 and rock solid build for less than Toyota could turn out a Hilux Invincible for was fanciful. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |
