It's here

Collected last night - it had 3.7 miles on it. Half a tank and a bunch of flowers. Was told they have sold 45,000 worldwide and if I ordered today I'd likely have to wait til September

Driving it it feels big (from a Merc C class) and wife took one look at the outside and said "it's smaller than I thought". So we have an Ipanema Sand tardis. First impressions.... WHERE DO YOU STORE THINGS?? I've half a mind to pull the spare out and put a can of tyre-weld and a compressor in there hold as there's no room for as much as a can of de-icer.

Closed the pano roof blind and the car felt small and dark inside (with the privacy glass) so am loving the pano. The inside is lovely: although the Spirit is ace the "cream" component of the combination is very white/light and hopefully is washable (6 year old son...). And why oh why are the overmats a lighter colour than the undercarpets. I'll be replacing those with some black cocomats

Congratulations, car looks great,

I agree about the storage, grrrrrr!!!

You have teased us with the interior

Like the colour combination with the black rood contrast, I too cannot believe what a difference the pan roof makes.

Enjoy, shame the weather is not better for your first day.

RE: It's here

Congratulations on the new arrival.
Are you sure it isn't an Indus car that you have been given? You say it's Ipanema in the first post but in that light it looks very silver not willowy yellow, or should I have my 54 year old eyes retested?
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

My thoughts too, probably just a trick of the light, but it does look rather silvery.

Nevertheless looks good though and chuck up som emore pictures Smile
