DSL, tbh it’s the best of a bunch of dull as ditchwater wishy-washy colours that JLR has chosen for the launch. There are some new colours coming in 2021MY but they are still pretty boring. Why is there no Firenze Red or Aintree Green, none of the brighter colours other LR models are available in, just build an RRS and see how many (and often wallet numbingly expensive) colours are available. There are photos here of some pretty ghastly wrapped Defenders but also one wrapped to look like one of the Orange run-out Adventure classic/old Defender that looks fantastic. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I know it’s the best of the bunch, esp with the black roof and wheel arches, it’s certainly my fave. It’s this pic from denhams that sold it to me, complete with dust. I’m not known for my love of washing cars and hopefully it would not be in the stealer that much that it keeps clean. Whistle Whistle

My dealer won't clean them if they have a roof rack.
It's about time you ordered one, get back in the fold instead of on the sidelines. Rolling with laughter

They use automated, say they have had racks pulled off with the brushes.

It’s a lot less stressful watching from the sidelines. Whistle Whistle

Mind you from the multitude of hints heading SWMBO’s way today and the complete lack of “go on then” back it may take a while. Big Cry Big Cry She even said the £895 paint was cheap! Shocked Shocked

Agreed 100% - where is Firenze Red?? I got excited when I read there were new colours for MY21, but just more shades of grey - and they are premium $$$. JLR is taking a leaf out of Henry Fords book - any colour as long as its a shade of grey Banging Head MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER
