Cozz, Perhaps mine will still be somewhere around the factory, as I believe build is around 4 days so should be out on the 11th. Wish I could do the tour but it's a long way to go from Perth.

Had a great morning at the tour, graham our host did and excellent job, saw an Autobiography 110 in grey & black going into the production hall, lots of Adventure models most were in Corris Grey or Fuji White with sill protection panels fitted. Amazing how many of the cars are destined for overseas, saw at least 6 Australian cars going through the various stages.
Amazing to see the effort that goes into the manufacturing of a Defender, makes you appreciate it that wee bit more Thumbs Up 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

John ,, don't think you can get a Autobiography as a 110 ?

As that's why i cancelled my order !! a 90 is of little use really to me California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Hi Tim

Definitely a 110 Autobiography, it's a LHD order from what we were told, weren't allowed too,close but it had a label emblazoned with Autobiography LE and a two tone paint job with grey lower and black upper panels. I questioned Graham our host about it and he had it confirmed with the team leader, I was surprised too Tim as I know we ate only getting 90s in the UK!!! Thumbs Up

If only we were allowed cameras Crying or Very sad

Cheers

It was insisted that all phones were turned off and put away before we left the LRE centre, saw a few nice cars today no Landmarks coming through yet and their were reluctant to talk about anything in detail!!

It's rubbish that the best 110 LEs seem to be sent abroad instead of selling them in the UK market. About 60% of the vehicles I got close to today were destined for Germany!! 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

Well,, did my trip yesterday, with some good company Thumbs Up ,, all really as above, pictures that were allowed to be taken, more or less the same that has already been posted

A few of the "special" both in production, and finished line up, It was noted that the "new" water ingress test feature, to check for leaks, was actually leaking itself !!! California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Autobiography 110?...News to me.
Never seen any mention of Autobiography "110" in ANY official LandRover Media stuff.
What do your UK Dealers say?

That is very funny. Hope my 90 doesn't leak! The 110 I have leaks like a sieve, water, dust, fumes, small bugs!!

I'll see you there then, Stanley, as my Wife and I are going tomorrow afternoon too! Cool

One quick question for the guys who've already been: on the reminder email, it states all limbs must be fully covered. With the current weather, this sounds no fun. Am I likely to be thrown out onto the street for wearing a T-shirt? Can't see what difference it'd make, but I suppose the idiocy of modern health and safety cannot be underestimated. Mr. Green

We were all covered up, so they never mention it, or throw us out !!

They issue hi vis, but to be honest, can not remember if they were short or long sleeve ???

Do you get the tour free when you've just bought a new one, or do you still have to pay the £45? Also... anyone know why it's not letting you book one at the mo?

Regret not the tour, but a half day experience drive at a centre of your choice, with new/used vehicles

They are fairly booked up,,best ring them ,, when i started this topic, a lot of the dates for months in advance were not available then !! California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

i don't remember reading the bit about being covered up - maybe I'll wear my burka


which entrance is it, somebody said the one they give is incorrect

coming from the airport to cross road with holiday inn on the right, do I go left and then turn right at the island to gate there?
