Just having a catch up on all the posts after 6 days in the field over last two weeks and wishing my Invincible had been delivered as whilst the 20 yr old Defender was great off road with its Grabber AT3’s, I don’t recommend driving from deepest Dorset to East Anglia when you’re tired after two days (& nights!!) out……. Osteopath needed!! Would never have sold the previous LC had I known how long the wait would have been but nearly there now.
I guess the one at Bromsgrove is the grey I’ll be getting not that I have been given any specs or shown the colour over my 16 month wait! Looks good though.

Dave - I’m sorry to hear that you will be selling yours so soon.

AC seems fine to me

I don’t like the battery hump and not excited by current generation hybrids and EVs but each to their own

They are bound to solve the battery efficiency challenge and manage to produce longer lasting , faster charging, smaller cells that do not require so much heavy cooling equipment and offer greater range but as we stand in 2024 it’s at an early stage and I will wait for later evolutions

Completely agree. The space the battery takes would be a deal breaker for me and I would be worrying about the tech changing too quickly and what that would mean for residuals.
With the kids now getting towards the end of school, a 5 seat option with even more boot space would definitely be a consideration. I imagine that option will come if and when they start releasing the lower grade/spec models in the future.
