As some of you will know already, I have recently let go my Black Mamba MY2010 90 XS and have since been running around in an old Pug 206...
In between times, I have been working with the awesome team at Urban Truck, headed by Simon Dearn... 
Or should I say they have been trying to work with me... 
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, they took delivery of my soon to be new Keswick 110 XS Utility Wagon... 
And here she is, totally standard, ex-factory, delivered, ready for UT to work their magic...  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I realise some of you will love it as is, and I must say it looks pretty good, although I am not a fan of boosts... 
But, I have decided in my wisdom, or otherwise, as a personal choice to celebrate the end of the Defender, as we know it and also my life, what may be left of it, to lavish a bit of hard earned and UT expertise into making this a unique and special keeper, my choice...
I hope you will follow my build, as it unfolds and enjoy the trip, whilst I wait impatiently to finally take delivery and start enjoying Ven's 110 Keswick Special... Rog...

Including getting it Zag'd, I am hoping two to three weeks is all, it is in build, or bits and pieces, right now...

Well, whilst not everyone's cuppa I'm sure, it will be special to me and, at my time of life, that's all that matters...

Well, except I opted for Premium Seats...

Why thank you sir, it may not be too long a wait now...
Thanks Tom, they may be coming thick and fast, but I hope you feel the same about Keswick when you see the end result...
The destruction begins...

Good point Tom, although that's one of the slight downsides to letting others take control, I received the pics after the deed...
Small point and I will check the detail when I next get to see it in the flesh... Rog...
