Think they try and offer a model that has what the buyer requires as standard.
Yes I agree Mike - I was confused why an SE would have a different spec depending on the model (90, 110 etc). I find it baffling. No idea what spec mine will have when it arrives or if the price will be protected - the dealer doesn't seem to have a clue on any of this either!

An update. Still enjoying the 110. 2200 miles in and zero issues. Tech is great with our phones etc. Dealer moved the goalposts on fitting the side steps and classic OEM mud flaps and was going to charge me £600 fitting. I fitted the steps myself on Friday. They were from Vulkan and have “DEFENDER” on them which I’m told are no longer available as a letter was sent by the nice people at JLR. These were sat at the dealer for 5 weeks while we negotiated the fitting so I think if that had not happened I wouldn’t have got this style. The OEM flaps have the Land Rover logo so look like the period ones, I will fit them this week.
