New Member - 2015 Defender 90 SW in Corris Grey My very first Defender2.net post - please be gentle! You seem like a nice bunch I'm actually on my second Defender. My first, a 2010 110 XS Station Wagon in Santorini Black was stolen off my drive never to be seen again. Only had it from new for about three months and was gutted. My current one is a 2015 90 XS Station Wagon, which I've had since August. Corris Grey with Santorini Contrast Roof, towing and dual finish wheels. It's currently a company car, and sits next to a 16MY Evoque on the drive (I'll let you guess who I work for!), and blocks in a Caterham in the garage. Absolutely love it, and I've decided to buy it, but this does mean I have to sell the Caterham. The two cars are in some ways very similar, and there seems to be a lot of people that own both. I built the Caterham back in 2003, and have had loads of fun it in over the last 12 years, but it's time to let someone else enjoy it now... Once it's mine, I'm not intending to change much - Other than beefing up the security, I'll probably get the rear windows tinted, might upgrade speakers and add a sub-woofer and change the badging but that's it. Famous last words I suspect! Anyway, here's a picture I took the week I picked it up: Click image to enlarge Last edited by 7heaven on 24th Feb 2016 6:48pm. Edited 1 time in total

Thanks. I was gutted. I guess the one good thing is they didn't come into the house for the keys... Second car I've had nicked. First one I had for less than 12 hours before it disappeared! At least that one was recovered - the joyriders dumped it outside their school the next morning  2020 110 D200 Base - Pangea with satin paint protection 2015 90 XS Station Wagon (sold) 2010 110 XS Station Wagon (stolen)

Posts: 720	That's a lovely looking 90 7heaven - great colour combo, I think the contrast roof adds so much to the truck...but then I am biased towards contrast roofs http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic37928-90.html Welcome and enjoy the forum, lots of great folks on here  MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html MY16 Santorini 90 HT - sold

Rosco Member Since: 03 Dec 2010 Location: Burntwood Posts: 1834	Welcome to Def2 If it was me I'd be more inclined to kep the caterham over the evoque. You know it makes sense really  2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone 2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone 2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

Just catching up on replies - thanks all! Rosco - Would like to keep the Caterham. as I built it from the kit after wanting one for years. I just don't use it enough any more (probably less then 500 miles this past year) so it doesn't make sense. Who knows - I might build another one day... The Evoque is my other company car (I get two) so not mine jk84 - Thanks. I love the colour combo as well, and the plan was to get my Evoque in the same colour scheme to have a nice matching set, but ended up getting a Firenze Red with black roof instead. Venomator - I much prefer the look of the 90 to the 110, but it is a lot smaller. I was parked at work a couple of weeks ago next to an Alfa Mito and that was longer! Read your build thread from start to finish - very nice JOW240725 - LOL - I think you'll be right! We had a 'bring your defender to work' day on the last day of production at all the JLR sites, and we must have had about 50 at my site (Whitley). Reminds me of the Caterham club stand at the kit car show - the cars are all basically the same but not one is identical. Reading through some of the threads on here has given me some ideas - there are some very nice mods available... 2020 110 D200 Base - Pangea with satin paint protection 2015 90 XS Station Wagon (sold) 2010 110 XS Station Wagon (stolen)

Fitted my new Defender badge at the back the black pack grille and light surrounds should arrive tomorrow, so will try to get those fitted ASAP. A sad day though - I think I've sold my Caterham Took it for a drive after I washed it and took photos for the ad. Big mistake!
