So does that mean Santorini Black is also not coming back?

Looks like it might have to be Santorini, and delay the car until Jan 2012

I will be speaking to my dealer monday to put a hold on the car until Stornoway is re-released. I am at the event in York tommorrow so will try and find out more info.

did you find anything out about the colour yesterday? I thought they were Orkney grey?

RE: Orkney Grey, have we been misled !!!!

just popped into dealer to look at the OG. there is a massive difference to Stornoway. OG is in effect silver! I hate silver. Dealer just infomed me there is not chance of chaanging build t this stage, but they going to ask question why all demo cars are Stornoway.
shame the colour co-ord at LR is obviously colour blind!!

??? clearly the folks contributing to that thread are even more in the dark than the people here.

From that forum, the better threads are.

and

http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic7489.html

where folks actually show pics of their new Defenders in Orkney

and maybe

http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic7528.html

for a comparison with one of the last Stornoway Defenders

RE: Orkney Grey, have we been misled !!!!

Sorry, I should have replied to this sooner. At the event in York at the weekend, I asked the experts who said all the cars on show were Orkney Grey, and they looked fantastic.
However i was not convinced, so i got one of them to put the orkney grey model car on the bonnet of one of these cars,it wasn't the same! then we hunted out the spec sheets and guess what stornoway grey, even though we were being told orkney. Watch out landrover you might have customers picking up new cars later this year and not accepting them as they are not the same as the ones they have seen on the drive events. I for one will not be ordering a colour I have not seen.
