Atacama Sand Yeigh or Neigh

Well had a hunt around to see if i could find a better deal on a TDv8 today, and according to the sales manager at a Sydney dealership he could get me on the road quite quickly, its Atacama sand with Alpaca and was in their lock up

So is Atacama a Thumbs Up or is it a positively a diluted Maya gold

It was 8K Cheaper than the one i looked at last week, perhaps that is why a brand new vehicle MY08 not MY08.5 though has 485 kilometres on the clock.

When was MY8.5 put into manufacturing Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

MY 2008.5 started in late september last year so it may be an ex demo car that the dealer now has to pay for.....
Atacama probably looks better in the bright sunshine that you have out there than it does here in the UK, I liked it when I first saw it but now after seeing several I'm not so keen. I reckon it might be hard to sell on and that is why there is a hefty dicount, which means when you want to sell it it might not be so easy to partex or sell. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Some Pictures of the beast






Tim, i am sure the vehicle has to be registered in OZ to be used as a demo and then disclosed to Land Rover, as they are unable to sell the vehicle through the corporate scheme that i would pursue which is free servicing for 3 years. If any other OZ based users can confirm my thoughts or correct me, most appreciated

I was concerned with the dirt on the leather, it looked to ingrained to be just a few rides, and where the hell does 489 Kilometres come from ...

Wondered if i got the VIN number whether someone could tell me when it was made, as September to April seems a very long time for a vehicle to be in storage, normally its about 3-4 months from order to build and it is a MY08 not 8.5 Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

You could get yourself a bargain here, this car is clearly wedged up the dealers arse 08 model year and the colour, offer him 4k less, think you might be surprised, they need to cut their losses here. Speed Limits! not where I live!

TDv8 seems attractive, atacama does not and with Tim, its bordering on the niggling to be honest and not the compelling.

How old is the Weimie or should i say Viemaraner, we had Weimies for nearly 20 years in the UK, mad as hatters.. Laughing, they make English Springers seem positively placid Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Totally cracked breed of German HPR..hunter pointer retriever.

who in fact come in a silverish grey, rather than a silverish gold or whatever Atacama purports to be

Steve, we alway had male weimies, if not shagging they wanted to cause or were in a ruck, i suppose the equivalent of a modern rugby player Laughing

EDITED
p.s. Check out Steve's Gallery, the rather large canine in the boot Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

High Wycombe, the Weimies came from a Norfolk breeder (Wing cmdr Hill) who moved to princess risborough, bloodline was Scalene..our last one before he died last year bless him was actually used by the breeder (near Princes Risborough) quite a few times. Kennel name was Scalene Solo Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
