Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I love the traditional look, which is what I was aiming for, and very happy with the spec we chose.

Any mods will be minor, such as cast 'station wagon' badge for the rear, which has already arrived, and maybe one or two retro touches, Grille, perhaps?

More importantly, need to get the Dinitrol rustproofing done, before it gets mucky underneath, and have bought a kit, which comes with diagram of where to drill, inject, etc. Also, there is a very useful link to a 15 min instructional video. See here: https://dinitrol.co.uk/ClassicCar/LandRoverRustProofingKits.aspx

Well worth a look!

Seeing your pics just made me very happy! Thumbs Up

My 90 HT order is the same spec - Keswick Green, white roof with the alpine roof lights, HD steel wheels - I also wanted the traditional look, mine is due in mid-September.....

Actually, I think Land Rover missed a trick - for this last year of production it would have been even better if they had gone back to the traditional paint colours for the non-metallic options. Bronze Green or Marine Blue would have been great.

Same here, Keswick with white roof and white HDs - IMO doesn't get any better from the factory!

I'm also toying with the idea of grille/headlight surround replacement - my original black one has now aged to grey, so needs something doing...
Considered the black wire grille from FCX, maybe with the Nak metal headlight surrounds, painted Keswick (with silver insert)? Might work?
I just don't want it to look like it's trying too hard to be retro - if you know what I mean? (I'm a big fan of less-is-more, when it comes to exterior add-ons).

Or I might just bottle it and get another standard black (new take-off). Confused
