Adventure production schedule / delivery dates and specs
Hi,
Does anyone have any insight into Adventure production/delivery schedules?
I've seen elsewhere here that people are taking deliveries of Autobiography in the UK.
I ordered an ADV at a German dealer but he seems very vague/uninformed as to detailed production plans, saying only that delivery might only happen in December or January...
If any German members of the forum have also placed orders and have any info, it would be great if you could share.

Separately, does anyone have real life pictures of the Adventure, other than from the Geneva auto show or official brochure? If so, please share.

Finally, there's been some discussion here as to the specs of the different celebration editions. It seems that, different to the UK market, the Adventure offered in Germany comes without the roof rack and the snorkel Crying or Very sad

I must say the LR marketing strategy if very confusing...

Cheers!
Mateusz

Would the roof rack and the snorkel be dealer fit items if you really wanted them?

I know what you mean about photos showing them, and assuming they're included in any price information that then comes out, but to be honest I think there are aftermarket versions of both that are better spec'd, priced and of higher quality.

Hi Supacat,
Thanks for your reply. The snorkel and rack can be installed by the dealer as paid options. I guess I'm not worried about being able to get them, just surprised at the different spec for the car between two "neighbouring" markets. I can understand there could be differences between Europe and Australia, such as AC in the Heritage version, which is not standard for the UK, but is in OZ due to climate differences, but I was surprised at differences in factory spec between the UK and Germany. Just makes things confusing IMHO.

My main interest in pictures is to get a better grasp of the phoenix orange colour, which looks quite different on different pictures. Geneva auto show pictures make it out as much brighter and metallic compared to the (digital) official LR brochure, where the colour seems closer to bright red. Real life pictures could help us understand what we really should expect to see at delivery time Very Happy

Thanks Jomara! This looks somewhat reassuring - I got worried for a second I was going to take delivery of a fire engine Laughing

Laughing glad you're a bit more reassured, I thought it looked like a metallic version of the tankers orange used on the G4 models Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

The snorkel and roof rack is not included on the adventure series in Australia. I do l

ike the look of the expedition rack but feel that you would have to put some sort of floor in to make it more practical. Panerai here is an adventure pics already on another thread that you might not have seen. It shows the colour a little better in natural light. You are right its a hard one to pick as the colour does seem to vary so much in different photos. There doesn't seem to be any pics of the two other colour variations.

Wow, that is wrong on so many levels. Makes the defender look even better (if that could be possible )

Looking at the photo, were the guys trying to stop you taking it! They look a bit agitated! Smile YOLO... You Only Live Once...
