Not a fan of the anniversary Green in general, but think it should have had white wheels…

Dealer offered me one back in December. I went to view it thinking it must look better in the flesh and it didn't, I think they must be a tough sell in that colour. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

cant stand it to be honest and this just shows how marketing can sell a product even when that product is ugly. "Overlanding With Bruce" - Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@OverlandingwithBruce

Good job that JLR are hiring all those Facebook and Twitter staff.

Clearly brainwashing via social media is more important than engineering excellence, a reliable product with award winning dealers to back up the consumers experience…….

Can’t because they stuck the D300 in it.

I looked at the 90 at my dealers and I like it but at £96k it’s a bit strong for me. Though if the colour was available I’d have it. The Defender colour choices are rank. The best colours, purely my opinion of course, are Tasman Blue, Pangea Green and Fuji White. I would’ve liked to have seen more solid body colours rather than all metallics.

As close as I’ll get

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

And I agree with J77 on the solid body colours. I'd like to have had the option of Keswick Green.

Noticed today Rockars in Canary Wharf have one in, they have changed the wheels to white. It looks better.

Pentland Stirling has an anniversary 110 in the showroom with a canvas sunroof - not a great option in my view and will need re-waterproofing every few years I would imagine. Their 90 75th has the body coloured roof.
I agree that that one with the white wheels looks like a totally different car 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!

I also hate the green wheels. White or silver much better. There are a couple of stock 75 editions with discounts available from dealers with £2k discount or thereabouts. Maybe that’s a repaint the wheels allowance Laughing
