First Land Rover !!!
Hello...I popped into my local Land Rover dealers to see if they had a defender 90 I could look at and sit in. . . They had two brand new ones a light green and a claret. The green one was sold and this was the only one left. . . I've always wanted one and never been able to afford one let alone anything new, so I did something crazy on impulse and bought it!!! Can't afford, don't know why I did it but I did ! I'm now very happy with a whole massive 5o miles now clocked up I'm loving it!

That looks lovely!

Really like the simplicity of the white wheels too!

I guess your user name reflects perfectly the great colour choice... unless you are also a wine merchant! Smile YOLO... You Only Live Once...

Lovely colour - well done for jumping in feet first!

As Skip says - why not come and visit where they were all conceived?

Congrats!

I had to pop back to the dealer to pick something up today and there was a very basic 90 in Keswick green, vinyl twill interior, nothing fancy and no toys. I loved it!

Why did I get such a fancy pants one I keep asking myself?

Well, in the depths of winter, on a shoot day, I'll be thanking the heated seats and windscreen fron and back, and a decent heater! I'm getting softer as I get older.
