Anyone know what the current lead time is approximately? Waiting for dealer to let me know but it's been a few days now.

Have you placed an order?
There's a chap on another forum who works forLR customer relations who can usually help.

Ah, sorry can't help then.
Probably depends on the dealer, though from what I've read about delivery don't be surprised if the car is delayed.

I've been told approx. 2 months for mine, should be with me in a couple of weeks! I think it depends on what build slots the dealer has.

Why is there a lead time at all? When I wanted one, they just found the exact one I wanted from group stock, I had the car as quickly as the money took to sort out?

I was quite specific about what I wanted as in 110, colour, seats, spec etc, can't they just find one you want?

I have heard orders will not be honoured as manufacturing is stopping due to a special edition being released in June/July....

Located a dealer who has managed to order me 2 90's and 1 110 for the company and looking forward to getting these mid Mat and fitting them out with new interiors etc.
Slightly pimped however there so basic inside it needs something!!!

I had a 3month wait, dealer was pretty accurate with his predicted delivery date.

I was told 12 weeks for orders but have sourced one from dealer stock so picking up next week. Also got a better discount than expected and told that sales staff have all been targeted with selling one Defender each by July. Not sure what to read into that...

2-3 months is what I was quoted but as mentioned above, I sourced a dealer demo in exactly the spec I wanted and saved a few quid.

This is interesting; boy will I be pissed off if it's some kind of uber-Defender that I hadn't heard about and I'm stuck with an off-the-shelf 100 XS!!
