2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Santorini Black

Really strange it wasn't for me but I passed the info onto a fellow member only 30 mins since I was offered it. The dealer appeared to mess him about and said he had 15 people after it. However 30 mins earlier he was almost begging me to buy it and leave a deposit. 2015 90SW Heritage MY16, 2016 90SW XS MY16 (123rd b4 the last build) & RRS HSE MY15

Dealers do live on another planet sometimes, I also find if they like you and spend money with then they do offer you some good deals, that the only reason im driving around in a RR Sport.

Gutted! Oddly treated by the sales bloke. Not meant to be it seems.

Really appreciate the heads up though. 1951 80" S1 2.0

I love Yulong White and it would be my choice of colour - the grey hint is perfect! As far as the Adventure model goes, I swing from liking it to thinking it looks like a bit of a tarts handbag. I think the less fussy Landmark in Yulong looks better.

I have the grey as it was the only local one available, I wanted the orange, to me the yulong white is not quite right up close.
This is my fourth grey (various tones) Landy and I find this very understated compared to the other colours.
However my favourite part of the grey is having the red inserts in the seats in the background as you look at her and I don't even like red

They are the most comfortable Landy seats ever

My big problem with the Adventure is stoping people touching the headlining when they get in for the first time and saying are you sure this is a Landy.

Isn't it the same headlining as the 2015/16 XS? I assume alcantara?

Love Yulong. It reminds me of Porsche Fashion Grey which is a favourite colour.

I've never had any Defender as luxurious as this so I don't know about the XS. I haven't been brave enough to let the dogs in the back yet

I was considering using the old 2 door RR for the dogs but I don't think that's a good idea either. 1998 90 50th Anniversary 4.0 V8

I keep a 130k mile 2008 5 series touring for work and the dog. Sounds crazy but I work in construction so anything I use daily is going to be prone wear and tear. To be honest I can't imagine ever selling it. It's perfect for its intended use.

Always muddy and stinks of wet dog!

i won't throw the dogs in the back of the Adventure, they go in a Lintran dog box in the RR Sport however 3rd dog arriving in 2 weeks and i think the 2010 TDV8 sport will be replaced by a Disco 4 !!!!! , i drove a new shape RR Sport yesterday and although a great drive ibn many ways the boot just won't be big enough and i have to say comfort level is not as good imo as my TDV8

I agree the boot in the RR Sport is not great and after just one day's shooting with just one of my labs in a cage in the back of the Sport what can I say ............................never again

At this rate I will sell the Adventure and go back to a 90SW so I don't have to worry about it

If the "50th Project" was a completed project then I might not be able to say no

But it is a project - ideal for you - Mitch won't let your old 90 go anyway so you'll just have to pay cash for the 50th
