Ven's 110 Keswick Special - Build Thread...
As some of you will know already, I have recently let go my Black Mamba MY2010 90 XS and have since been running around in an old Pug 206... Big Cry

In between times, I have been working with the awesome team at Urban Truck, headed by Simon Dearn... Bow down

Or should I say they have been trying to work with me... Rolling with laughter

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, they took delivery of my soon to be new Keswick 110 XS Utility Wagon... Mr. Green

And here she is, totally standard, ex-factory, delivered, ready for UT to work their magic...

I realise some of you will love it as is, and I must say it looks pretty good, although I am not a fan of boosts... Whistle

But, I have decided in my wisdom, or otherwise, as a personal choice to celebrate the end of the Defender, as we know it and also my life, what may be left of it, to lavish a bit of hard earned and UT expertise into making this a unique and special keeper, my choice... Mr. Green

I hope you will follow my build, as it unfolds and enjoy the trip, whilst I wait impatiently to finally take delivery and start enjoying Ven's 110 Keswick Special...
 Rog... Mr. Green
The GREEN One...

Good point Tom, although that's one of the slight downsides to letting others take control, I received the pics after the deed... Rolling Eyes

Small point and I will check the detail when I next get to see it in the flesh... Mr. Green
