unfortunately I have to remember that as I drive a transit and vw transporter as well

although my 110 utility was dual purpose back in 2013 and therefore wasn't affected, same as yours I think ?

Yep, old 110( and 130) is a dpv. Both the new 90 and 110 commercials are overweight so van speed limits apply

With the black rear panel they don’t even look
Like a van/commercial vehicle doubt you would get pulled doing car speeds in it

Police don’t use aprn for speeding it’s not legalisation.

I know a few transit custom owners who have had NIP penalty through the post after triggering ANPR cameras ??

Don’t forget speed averaging cameras, as on my regular(ish) route up & down the a9.

Anyone know if the adaptive speed limiter will take this into account for the commercials? https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

call from dealer, my hard top 90 was built today (on schedule) and was given a chassis number at 11.20 am,

so at least it wasn't a Friday afternoon build !

apparently once it shows on system with a chasiss number that means it actually exists

fingers crossed

I've ordered the same car but in Carpathian but I'll probably change that a couple of times. I really like the silver, someone took delivery of a 90 yesterday on here and posted a couple of pics, looks really smart.
My car won't be here until May, I was going to order one in late December with delivery before end of March to fit in my financial year end but I couldn't decide, I'm just a bit concerned about the ride quality with the short wheelbase.
The comments about the commercial speed limit is a bit concerning though, I need to check before I go any further, I can't be doing with lower speed limits, I always expected that you could carry on like normal SUV's but you live and learn!

Wheelbase of the 90 is 2587mm 101" should be comfy enough 90S D250 fuji and loving it.

Think you’d be unlucky to fall foul of the speed limit thing - never had a problem with Discovery commercials.

I had ordered a silver one initially,

but saw a black one that had had the sides wrapped (leaving black bonnet / roof) - like the defender X

so I changed it to black and im gonna get the sides wrapped

also then any scratches from greenlaning can be "peeled off" if needs be
