Good news, probably due to Ryan's intervention and after my e-mail to the Swiss JLR importer last week, I received a reply not directly from the importer, but from what I think is a professional event organizer outfit. Essentially they confirm the date, place and basic program details, and they say that those who have registered, will shortly receive their personal invitations by regular mail (La Poste). Thereafter, during June, we again will receive a letter with all the detail of the program of that celebration day. Sounds good to me. Below is content of the mail I received for those interested. Quote Cher Monsieur Nous vous remercions pour votre courriel concernant la Defender Farewell Party auquel nous répondons volontiers au nom de JAGUAR Land Rover Schweiz AG. La Farewell Party aura lieu le 4 juillet prochain au Classic Center Schweiz à Safenwil (AG). Vous pouvez vous attendre à un programme divertissant avec des moments phares tels un parcours off-road, un Defender Walk of Fame, de la musique live et beaucoup plus encore. Votre invitation personnelle vous parviendra prochainement par courrier. Puis, au mois de juin, vous recevrez une autre lettre de notre part avec le programme détaillé de ce moment phare de l’été. Nous nous réjouissons de votre intérêt et espérons qui vous avez bien enregistré le 4 juillet dans votre agenda pour participer à la Farewell Party. Avec nos meilleures salutations. Unquote Now, I am going to do one more thing here. I have no idea how they are treating registrations from outside Switzerland, so as I know one UK based def2 member who runs a Swiss Defender in the UK, and who has registered for the event, I will answer their e-mail once again, specifically providing all personal details of this member, and asking them to confirm that they will also send the letters to him. For now, waiting, Eric You never actually own a Defender.

My French is much worse than Google Translate's, , therefore: "Dear Sir Thank you for your email regarding the Defender Farewell Party which we are happy to answer on behalf of Jaguar Land Rover Schweiz AG . The Farewell Party will take place on July 4 at the Classic Center in Safenwil Schweiz (AG) . You can expect an entertaining program highlight such an off-road course, a Defender Walk of Fame , live music and much more. Your personal invitation will be sent shortly by mail. Then, in June , you will receive another letter from us with the detailed program of the highlight of the summer. We welcome your interest and hope that you have registered 4 July in your diary to attend the Farewell Party . Best regards ." Cheers, Vincent 1959 Polynorm 1/4 Ton Trailer, Olive Drab Green (sold) 1970 M416 Military Trailer (Camping Trailer Conversion), Epsom Green (sold) 1975 Series III 88 V6, Light Green (sadly sold) 1996 Defender 110 CSW 300 Tdi, Epsom Green (sold) 2000 Freelander 1 TD4 3-drs, Silver (sold) 2006 Freelander 1 TD4 5-drs Facelift Automatic, Tonga Green (sold) MySite

Things start to fall in place. Today I received an e-mail from Land Rover inviting me to register on line again for the 04 July event. At first glance it looked the same as the website they created for this earlier (www.defender.ch), but I decided to register again via the link in their e-mail, and it all is a bit more detailed than before. This time they ask for the full VIN number, then the site provides all my personal info, and last they ask for how many Defenders and how many people will attend the event. As said, a bit more thorough than before. This one must be the real thing, because when I pushed the registration button, I received a prompt reply e-mail whereby they confirmed good receipt and informed me that all further invitation details and program details would be sent by regular mail later in May and in June. Just mentioning this here, as some others may have registered via the www.defender.ch website too, and hopefully got the same e-mail today as I. But suggest you register again via the link in the e-mail, even if you already registered on that website before. Eric Edit, they promise an event which will be more than worth the spirit of the Defender, and all Defender drivers at the event will receive an "exclusive" present.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw

Eric, I registered March 23rd, but did not recieve an email today. Would you mind passing the link you received by email to me by pm, so I can register again (hopefully for real now)? Edit: tried the the link in the first post again, et voilà - now I also reived a confirmation email. Cheers, Vincent 1959 Polynorm 1/4 Ton Trailer, Olive Drab Green (sold) 1970 M416 Military Trailer (Camping Trailer Conversion), Epsom Green (sold) 1975 Series III 88 V6, Light Green (sadly sold) 1996 Defender 110 CSW 300 Tdi, Epsom Green (sold) 2000 Freelander 1 TD4 3-drs, Silver (sold) 2006 Freelander 1 TD4 5-drs Facelift Automatic, Tonga Green (sold) MySite

^^ Vincent and Steve, just back from a trip and see your posts. Suggest we wait until after the long weekend, and if next week tuesday or wednesday you still have no letter received by mail, I will then send the event organizers, whose coordinates I have, a follow up e-mail asking about both your cases. Vincent, I may then need some additional contact information from you, but let's first see what happens between now and next week. Eric You never actually own a Defender.

Steve, I just reread the last e-mail I received from the event organizers in answer to my e-mail to them (with you on copy) whereby I provided all your personal details, and where I told them that your ICE actually is a real Swiss Defender , remember. Now, she replied to that e-mail, but only to me, not copying you. Essence of the message is herebelow. But essentially she said that once you have registered on line, and have received their e-mail confirmation, that the next thing you will get in the mail (post) is going to be in June, and that will include the full program details. I think the two pictures of the letter and card I posted above, and which I received by La Poste may be something that LR Switzerland are sending out to their Swiss customers, probably to all Swiss Defender and older Land Rover drivers they have on record. Actually when you read the bottom of the text on the invitation card in my second picture, you will read exactly that. So I think as long as you registered, and received the confirmation e-mail as you did, all is good. But, I still can send her a follow up e-mail next week to make sure. Here is content of her last mail response to me: Cher Monsieur (ericvv) Merci pour votre réponse. Monsieur (bpman) va recevoir un newsletter online cet après-midi avec ce qu’il peut s’inscrire à la Farewell Party. Pour l’invitation par la poste c’est plus tard. Si il va s’inscrire online, il recevait une conformation avec toutes les détails par la poste en Juin. Avec nos meilleures salutations. -Signed- You never actually own a Defender.
