Hi all. First post as I've been toying with the idea of buying a new defender this last few weeks. Anyway, I built up the courage and was about to do the deed on Tuesday this week but was then informed that the black pack is now discontinued. This was very important to me on the spec. Whilst the dealer has said he can do a dealership 'black pack' with most of the spec, it wouldn't be the real thing and this would no doubt bug me forever! Anyway, I've now turned my attention to an Adventure Edition. My local dealer has still one available. What I was wondering is did any of you manage to get any price reductions on these of discounted apr? I know that the NFU usual 5% cannot be applied.

Any help or advice is welcomed.

Kevin

No Discount, No NFU,,Not even on the Autobiography,, and i have bought more that a couple of Landrover !! with good deal previously

The lack of the Black Pack, don't make much difference,, did my own at half the extortionate price with Bowler rims instead California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

If you have the opportunity I would take it. Thumbs Up how would you feel if the dealer rang you to say that it had gone?

I have a black pack on order since October. But I agree if I wasn't able to get one now then I go the basic route and get all the mods done at Urban Truck - got plenty of other rims besides Bowlers.

The Adventure is a good move if you're prepared to spend the readies, I am surprised there's any left. So grab it!! 2015 110 XS CSW Montalcino Red with Black Pack

All,

Thanks for your quick replies. I've only gone and done the deed!!! Ive just got to sit tight until 1st September. I'm still debating on a couple of spec items before it goes I to build - Carpets, rear tints and speaker upgrade.

One happy bunny!!

Was told today I could get a 110 heritage SW - no 90's left and could have my pick of the adventure editions which come in a few colours not just orange and black no autobiographies either. If anyone is interested I'm sure I could pass the number on as I don't want one.

Deposit down today on a 110 heritage. Amazed that there was one available, but it seems I enquired at the right moment! Perhaps the 90s are more sought after, but a 110 is what we wanted, and is, I believe, one of only 100 for the UK, as opposed to 300 90s.

Chuffed to bits. Just got to wait until September now!

These would be Dealer fitted options right?
I thought that the Celebration models had no factory options available?

You are correct Pickles, they come the same spec from the factory, no options. Anything you want added to these Defender's will be a dealer fitted accessory.

Should I, or shouldn't I...
I have been having doubts about ordering the Heritage 90 HT since placing my deposit... Embarassed

Asked to be informed if they had a cancellation for their SW to do a swap... Whistle


So, Squealer has just offered up a 110 Heritage SW from a cancelllation... Shocked


Should I, or shouldn't I, swap 90 HT option for 110 SW... Big Cry  Rog... Mr. Green
The GREEN One...

Depends... How many toddlers and how many dogs do you need to transport on a daily basis? Mr. Green

None, on a daily basis... Whistle

Just me mostly and SWMBO and a mad mutt as and when though... Embarassed

But I do have misgivings about going for an HT... Shocked  Rog... Mr. Green

Hi Roger,

I think it depends what you want to use it for, I could make a case for all 3 models but I ordered the HT on the basis that it is going to be used as a third car with only myself, wife and retriever to use it. It also has the advantage that I can throw the odd bit of antique furniture in the back when I need to, something I couldn't do so easily with the station wagon.
If you need the seats on a regular basis go for the station wagon if not save over £3000 and go for the HT (that's what I've told myself anyway!)

Paul
