2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

it looks like he is offering you a first edition supercharged car. All first editions didn't come with acc or rear diff lock and had standard stormer wheels. I guess the only other thing it had to make it special was the lined oak wood, do you know what wood he is offereing?

No here u can pay 1800 GBP more to get the stormer wheels on the supercharged one..It look like special adition but it not acually the wood is cherry I do not know the exat name of it but it's light brown

The wood comes in two types - standard is brown Cherry Wood and then 1st Editions and as an extra cost option on all other RRS there is Lined Black Oak. Of course you could settle for a silvery plastic called Rhodium (sounds like a type of new Hyundai doesn't it!) too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I'm waiting for the dealer call to confirn the availibity of Alpaca premium leather interior with supercharged model coming to UAE..other wise I have to buy a fake one

Sportman - I faced the exact same dilemma as you are. I wanted a buckingham blue supercharged, but was leary of the ivory interior. I was so concerned about the ivory, I almost changed to Bonatti with black interior.

But I thought about it, and thought about it, and finally convinced myself that ivory would be OK. Now that I have my buckingham supercharged, I couldn't be happier with the ivory. Let me offer a few of the reasons why I changed my mind/got comfortable with the ivory:

1) the floor and trunk mats are black, not light carpet. And they are protected now by beautiful black LR rubber foot and trunk mats anyway.

2) the ivory sport leather cleans up much better than I ever expected. My 16 month old sits in her car seat behind the front passenger seat and kicks the seatback with her sneakers all the time. But a decent quality leather cleaner cleaned it good as new with no problem.

3) the ivory also looks better with the cherry/aluminum trim than I first thought

My dealer in NJ offered the "custom order" process for an alpaca interior, but the wait seemed A LOT longer than the 10 weeks for ivory, so...I ordered with ivory and I ended up really coming around and liking it.

Anyway, I didn't get the ACC either, the supercharged I test drove with the system was too sensitive. the ACC would pick up oncoming cars around bends and odd things that made it less easy to use than the very competent standard cruise control. Maybe it was just that particular vehicle but it didn't seem like I would enjoy using it so I don't miss it.

Rear diff lock might be useful if you plan to drive in seriously traction-less off road conditions, but I was told the extra box adds a couple hundred pounds of weight, so why burden your supercharged unnecessarily if you don't really need it?

Just some thoughts, since I was contemplating the same color combination and options you were. Hope your dealer is able to get you exactly what you want.

Let me think about it again PassOnLeft
"custom order" I had never known about it is it cost extra time and money..?
what exactly LR will do more explanation please

Tim I got ur point...just for self satisfaction is RRS 100% made in UK I mean all the parts are made in UK or u can find some made in Europe US like his big brother before had BMW stuffs..I know Ford take over and bought LR but where the parts of RRS are coming from? I need to know in details starting from the engine ending with chassis
