Some good news for the early adopters at last! Look what supply and demand has done to the prices of graphics processing cards (GPUs).

Probably with no discounts now “due to sudden demand “ Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

There's about 85k vehicles in inventory, split between the dealers and JLR, I think it's a little early to be calling that.
Just as many "new to the brand" order holders could just as easily move to a different brand & old cars with non-current spec don't really get any more valuable despite what a dealer (with a vested interest) will tell you. |

I'm totally expecting a delay and have mentally prepared myself! The dealer said early April but I'll be pleased if I get it before the end of the summer.
Covid, Brexit, silicone, shipping delays etc. etc. I can't believe any car manufacturer would manage to stay on schedule at the moment. I'd rather a delay than a rushed build. |

 have emailed my salesman for comment...
BTW - Tim do you read one of the red top newspapers? I think the thread title would be classic Sun or Mirror and is a little alarmist, we don't know for certain...  Steve N | 21MY Defender  | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history) |

Quick response from my man
Though of course LR may be hiding something from Guy Salmon... Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history) |

Mines should be on its way down the production line this week. I text my salesman this morning asking him to send me photos when it arrives and he never said anything.
I’ve since sent him another message after receiving Tim’s PM, asking what the situation is.

My salesman’s furloughed from this week on so can’t access the system from home to check.
It’s just the gift that keeps on giving 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

No news outlet has run anything on this story yet, which given the time line, seems a bit slow off the mark...

I have just picked up my 90 from the dealership and asked the salesman about cease in production due to shortage of microchips, he didn’t know anything about it.
