Nice one Steve...
Some of the quality bits 'n bobs are certainly great looking, like the billet door pulls... 
Hopefully, it drives similarly to the Special, seeing as they are of the same era...  Rog...

Hey Rog
This doesn't compare to a custom build like yours my friend. Just think it's a little special considering it was the lowest spec of the specials and lower spec to ROW Heritage spec. It does get a lot of looks when out. Hope it's from people who might know what it is. All in all for £31850 inc extras I think it's not all bad. |

Actually, there are some great ideas on the Heritage that I am sure will find their way into the Special...
In fact, some already have... Rog...

Steve, like you, I'm very pleased with the quality of the heritage. It's a very nice product. And it looks soooo good. Lots of admiring glances. I think those that have one are lucky indeed.
My only critisism is the lack of sound deadening. My 110 XS is much quieter. I understand that most new defenders now come without carpet and so I would be interested to learn how they compare. But my 110 with carpet, much better. My concern over the MT tyres was misplaced. They look very purposeful. Even the grill is growing on me. I also agree, engine is spritely. Much more eager than my 110, but don't know how much of that is down to size. Enjoy, be interesting to see what mods others add to theirs. |

Hi Nidge
Hope you are enjoying yours also The noise for me is similar to the 110 I had as 2013 had no carpets 
I think the tyres must add a little to the noise but I'm used to it. Only add on at the mo will be the M&M seat covers when they come. Still haven't decided on what wheel cover to get |

I thought M&M did a wheel cover to match their seat covers Steve...
I know I have seen one on here somewhere and it looked rather smart too... Rog...

May be worthwhile holding out on another wheelcover.
If you ordered the full 7 seat MM covers - there may well be a complimentary MM wheel cover in the white linen tog bag that they send their covers in ... |

I like the M&M wheel cover but not sure if I would prefer a hard cover instead.
The black UT one is the sort of thing I was thinking of and I did ask they could spray one Grassmere green but they couldn't  |

Even if you order the Heritage 90 4 seat cover set you get the M&M wheel cover - I like it a lot: [URL=]  Click image to enlarge[/URL] Please excuse the wrinkles which have not yet been teased out or the melted mudflap!

I am very pleased to hear that Steve, as they refused to do me a Keswick one for the Special... 
After that bombshell, I couldn't make up my mind...
And decided to then go nekkid instead...
And, to be honest, I have really grown to love the look...
Anyway, why fork out for tidy wheels & tyres and then not show them off to those lucky enough to follow you... Rog...
