Congratulations, very nice these Adventures of course. Hope it gives you much pleasure.
Would like to make one suggestion here. Each time I see pictures of a new 110 like those in your gallery, I see these rear mudflaps. You have to know that there is a high risk (certainty) that when you will drive at speed, the brackets of these mudflaps will put pressure on the side panel where they are attached to with I believe a single screw. To avoid this you can order a simple reinforcement bracket which you or your dealer can install very easily and which will keep your side wing panel intact. Better to do this asap I think before anything starts to bend down there. I personally know of one supplier of such brackets and that is Entreq in Germany. Otherwise enjoy the truck! Eric PS - here is an older dedicated forum thread specific to this problem. Today I have not seen much discussion about this anymore, but can only presume that the risk is still the same. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic11874....eq+bracket If you go to Entreq website www.entreq.de , click on the Tab "reinforcement gear", choose "Spritzlappenhalteringen", then it will be the first item "Randverstärkerungen...". You can choose English too, but then you get prices in £, not €. About the cheapest mod you can make too.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Ditto congratulations, a lovely looking truck and hopefully many hours and kilometres of enjoyment for you and yours too...
Just looked through your gallery, some great photographs too... 
Noticed this one and wondered if you had specifically ordered the Premium seats without the 'wings' on the seat and back... 
 Click image to enlarge You can see the curved orange inserts I mean on this one from JLR's images...

Silly me... 
Apparently this is because the Heritage has upgraded Windsor seats rather than the cheap old Premiums...
Apologies for any confusion my ignorance may have caused...

I believe you were the right the first time around, at least on the Defender brochure the premium leather seats should have the wings. Pic attached. A little disappointed if its not like the brochure  |
