Seats are stunning. It's nice to see you stuck with the premium and didn't go down the recaro route. Andy

Hi Rog, just found this thread whilst having breakfast.

It's a bit like when you're reading a good book, couldn't wait to get on to the next page. I got to about page 8 and was beginning to get agitated because you'd left on the standard badge!

I particularly like the discrete steering guard in black. The seats are the icing on the cake though, a great blend of traditional colours and modern style and comfort (I imagine).

It's given me a few ideas for my 110uw in Keswick. How far away are urban truck.....

Thank you very much, I did not even consider Recaros, or any others tbh... Wink

And a huge thank you to everyone who has read, commented, followed or otherwise encouraged me in this wee project, it is much appreciated... Bow down

It is also good to know that we have managed to get most things right along the way... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Much appreciated Angus, I hope it did not spoil your breakfast (still not had mine... Shocked )... Thumbs Up

Fantastic build, & to be honest looking more "Heritage" than a Heritage if you know what I mean. You will enjoy this for decades to come.

It seems... :)
We may have had a little excess leather to dispose of... Whistle

Thank you kindly, whilst I was not really looking to emulate the Heritage style, the comparison is not lost on me and I appreciate that as a compliment indeed Avion8... Thumbs Up

To be honest, the 'Special' will probably easily outlast me now, but I will certainly enjoy it for as long as I am able... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Where did you get the alloy gear lever knobs from Roger? I really like the look of those and can see another purchase coming on.

Hope you have a great day when you collect it tomorrow and I look forward to loads more pictures once you've got it. Laughing 2015 Defender 90XS HT

Ah, you noticed that Paul... Whistle

They were supplied by Urban Truck as they keep them as stock items in straight ally, black or carbon look... Thumbs Up

Personal preference in my case, having seen them all... Wink

I am not actually collecting it tomorrow, it is off to Zag on Tuesday by transport, as I cannot take it down personally... Big Cry

My first drive will be Friday, when I pick it up from Zag's, following the undercarriage protection... Mr. Green

Hmmm, my first concern. The gear levers. Everything looks factory OeM to now...these don't. I have 3/4/5 cnc axis machines so always to machine bits for the truck but it's too much metal. Would be nice anodised a nice graphite green to match. Andy
