Picked it up from Taunton Landrover at midday. D4 XS. A thoroughly pleasant experience from the start (12 Sep) until the handover today. It was a factory order because I have had black leather and trim instead of the normal almond and brown plus a rear view camera. Dealer fitted options were the electrics for the removable tow bar system.
One other factory option was a full size spare wheel which at £117.45 must be the bargain of the year from LR. I know that there is a cost involved in supplying the spacesaver but for the upgrade cost the full size is a worthwhile addition.
Colour is Nara Bronze and it looks the dogs doodahs! Lots of gizmos to try out and I have to get used to driving an auto box without hitting the brake (clutch style with the left foot!)
Worth the wait and worth my money
