I'd agree with the above. It seems to need a bit of oomph to do its thing, additionally the car weighs nearly 2.5 tonnes and so there is a lot of inertia to overcome. I liked my test drive at the weekend enough to sign on the dotted line and have placed an order for a 110. Hoping for an October build date and looking forward to trying it out off road once it's here - albeit very carefully to begin with! I thought you’d said you wouldn’t get one because of the depreciation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I did say that. But life is short and there are good deals to be had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePointFive Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You're one of the few that have even seen one in real life, the fewer that have driven one and the fewer still that did so with the intention to spend money. I hope you stick up a thread and start what could be a lively community in here, it would be a shame if the negativity (my own included) were to keep away new members. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I saw a green one going opposite direction on sunday while out & about, still not sure if I like it, I cant afford one anyway, so my 1989 real 110 is safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are deals to be had - it's a fairly tough time now for selling big new buys imo and I very much doubt it will be any different in a year .. I'm very interested in your upcoming thread about living with one , when do you collect it ? cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just now, steve b said: What you replacing with this ? Supplementing rather than replacing I think, something comfier for cruising those Scottish roads. Also being aluminium less maintenance due to high salt content on the roads. Or cheating by buying a ready made 110 rather than finishing building his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It’s not replacing anything, I’ll keep the 90 but it will be used much less and the new 110 will pick up the bulk of the road work. I will do a thread when I have it, hopefully some time late October depending on build date and how long it takes to ship over. As an aside I’ve seen plenty around these parts. There’s one in my village, and I see them on the roads fairly frequently. I passed three on the way back from the dealer on Sunday afternoon.

It’s so good I didn’t bother getting a gimbal in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naks Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 An interesting comparison: New Land Rover Defender meets Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road via Autocar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Probably an odd comparison really. The new Defender is much more akin to a Grand Cherokee these days than a Wrangler. Although just looking at the Jeep UK website and it no longer had the Grand Cherokee listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 What do we think of the TV ad ? The first sight of it lurching at speed off the bush and directly in front of the camera vehicle on the road at speed and then continuing back into the bush on the other side is hardly representative of tread lightly with respect imo Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
