My 90 Heritage HT.....cancelled.
Just had a call from Land Rover Cardiff to advise that Land Rover are now supplying 1 less Heritage - mine!

They say it's unheard of?????

They have been allocated an additional Adventure model which they have offered me. Slightly Censored ed off!

It's totally scuppered me.

The Adventure won't fit into my garage even if I wanted it. Plus £43K for a Defender is slightly crazy imo. I'm popping into the dealer tomorrow to discuss my options - whatever they may be!

I have just been on the tour this afternoon and 80-90% of the vehicles on the production line were either heritage or adventure models. This does indeed sound very odd.

Hope you manage to get a solution which you are happy with 2002 110 td5

Speak to the pr guy on here first - just check the facts from the factory end to make sure the dealers not spinning you a line.

That seems totally wrong to me.

If you have put a deposit down surely they are obliged to supply the vehicle as you have both entered into a contract.

Might be worth a quick chat with your solicitor and then a snotty letter from him demanding that they fulfill their side of the contract.

I bet they will manage to find you a heritage then..... Whistle

Can you point me in his direction? After speaking to the dealer in the morning my next step was going to be LR customer services.

The Adventure would be a very appealing substitute. But it's £15K more expensive and the roof rack etc mean it won't fit in my garage!

Might work! But it very much takes the shine off the new car buying experience!
