The Fun Begins

Back in May we ordered a brand new Land Rover Defender 110.  We could have purchased straight off of the lot a 7 seater, but did not want to have two seats in the luggage area that we would hardly ever use.  The intention is that this vehicle will be our primary vehicle and will also use it for off road adventures around New Zealand.

We had hoped to have the vehicle in August, but this has turned out to be way too optimistic.  But today we have learned that the vehicle, dubbed Thor at the moment, has been build and is awaiting transportation from England.  The dealer says that the car could be on the 17th August sailing or the 23rd August sailing. 

So now we are expecting to take delivery of our Defender in the last week of September.  It will be Aintree Green, like the one below but with side runners, upgraded headlamp and grill option plus the bull bar.
