I have decide to part company with my Zanzibar Evoque in March/April and look forward to having something very different on my drive and similar to this. The intentionis this will be my only car as I will also sell on my 1996 Defender 90 300TDi once the 110 is well run in, I'm on the slide into retirement now so reducing overheads matters and my current Evoque is not proving to be the best Land Rover I have ever owned, despite being the most expensive and luxurious new car I have ever owned bar an ex Dealer demo 2010 RR Vogue which was fantastic and worth every penny of it's £72000 - this £53000 Evoque certainly has not been worth the money even compared to the previous Evoque. Fit and finish have been below expectations for such an expensive "premium" small car.
I'm not sure about the alloys or the red callipers on this one (I like the red callipers but the style of the alloys I think would make them a little vulnerable offroad so I will be taking delivery of it on "alloy" coloured Dual Finish 16" Defender wheels and will then change them then to either black Defender deep dished or Freestyle or even the black version of the 5 spoke Zu's that I have on my 90.
The spec of the 110 I have gone for is
Stationwagon 110 XS
Warn Winch with Plasma winch rope
Aluminium Undershield
Tow kit
Privacy Glass (the factory doesn't do Privacy on the rear door glass for some reason so that is being done aftermarket)
Mobile Centre Cruise Control (again non factory option)
Upgraded Premium Ebony leather interior
Black side steps
Upgraded Audio - standard is an Alpine singe slot CD/Radio with hands free and streaming MP3
Black chequer plate to sills and rear corners
LED headlights to replace the single candle LR installs in the factory headlights
Black carpeting inside with HD rubber foot well and load space area mats
Dual Finish Alloys shod with BFG AT tyres (to change for Black Zu's with MT tyres for offroad)
A few other non factory/ dealer fit offroad bits bought from various Defender fettlers.
What I have to find are: dash mounted Satnav with guidance and TMC (not on the accessory list from LR)
Jate rings for decently strong recovery points
Provisional build date is 1st week of March with delivery 3rd week of March.
