I didn't find the Puma any worse, maybe the better seats compensated! Is the Puma Hardtop a problem for taller people? Does the Station Wagon (with no bulkhead) give more fore/aft adjustment with the seat or is it just that it allows the seat to tilt back further? I tend to drive in a fairly upright position.

If you have any link to those vehicles for sale please PM me or post them here as I am still open to suggestions and options. I do prefer the traditional look though, the white roof, steel wheels etc. If buying new, I hope to place my order in the next few weeks.

Cheers, John

2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Orkney Grey

I've just changed from a DC 110 to a Utility 110, there is marginal more leg room, my knees when a passenger no longer rub on the dash and much more room to tilt the set back as the passengers behind can also do the same

However I suspect the DC is a poor example due to the fixed cab position

This is the one I had in mind - nothing to do with me though!

Cheers. It certainly looks nice, though I am after a more traditional look, with the white roof, steel wheels etc.

I really like the Series vehicles but am after something a little more useable.

2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 X-Tech LE Zambezi Silver

not sure what the percentage of discount is, but i bought a new x tech 90 three weeks ago from rodger young, with tow pack, dog guard, rubber mats front and back and a full wax oil for 21500 + vat, my local dealers had none, there was one at shefeild for 23500 + vat, and one on ebay for even more. but as a farmer they wouldnt give me NFU discount on an x tech. ended up travelling 370 miles to get best deal, but was worth it.

Good stuff, thanks. I will ask around a bit, see what kind of discounts there are to be had on a new vehicle. 10% off list price would be great, though I am not sure if it will be possible.

Once again, thank you for all the help with this, it is very much appreciated.
