INRO - do you happen to know if that's a proper production model? Cheers

The one they had last time was still pre-prod...

I'm waiting for my test drive there...I'm on the list for a spin Wink

Hope I don't like the Grenadier, or I may have to sell my beloved Defender!


The one in Lloyds is still a pre production one Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

Bowker Ribble Valley had 4 when we called in the other day, one was a Pre Pro and another a demo and a couple waiting for customer collection. The sales guy seemed very well informed and gave us a good look around them. They do look very impressive, starting at £58K for the more basic commercial version. I was quite impressed by what we saw.

lt does look good and l may consider one myself. But the huge front bumper needs to be replaced with, well, maybe a Defender TD5 one!!

Urban have got one. Video on you tube

Impressive vehicle.

Looking forward to seeing how much plastic they can attach to it.


I wonder if it'll take off for the 'Urban' community.

Or if it'll be cool enough for the Chelsea crowd, my recent jaunt around there found a plethora of modern 90s and 110s.

That may be the attraction for some of the 'Urban' or 'Chelsea' crowd, if they want something different from everyone else in their neighbourhood.

Might not be legal to change the bumper. If the bumper is fitted for specific regulations it might be unwise to change it. Then there is the insurance company....

Urban Automotive got loaned one for a couple of days - they seemed quite impressed by it.

Interesting to see how 'quickly' they developed the first parts for it, you could almost say 'thrown together' if you were feeling a little less charitable. 2005 Td5 90 XS

I suppose they need to be first to market and capitalise where they can.

I wonder if Chelsea Truck have followed suit?

Interested to see how luxurious leather / wheels work on that vehicle.

l've seen a Grenadier fitted with an A bar and that looked good as well, it made the front look better
