New car day (again) tomorrow.

This will be hardtop number 3 for me.
Started with the d200 basic spec 5 years ago
Sold and bought a better spec d250 with a few bells and whistles after 50k miles in the first one.

Always said to the missus, if they bring out a new hardtop 90 in a colour like the original landy, I’ll be tempted.
Surprise surprise, now they have what is kinda similar, the d350 2026 model in Woolstone Green.
Mine is an in stock so isn’t 100 percent the spec I would have gone for. Has the larger wheels 22” and I prefer the 20”s but other than this, it’s very well specced as it’s the x dynamic hse.
Got to do a 2 hour train journey and 4 hour drive back but hopefully will be worthwhile.

Fwiw I do around 17.5k miles a year so selling my current one with just shy of 50k miles seems like the thing to do and tax efficient too so I’m happy.

Just hoping I love the green when I get it. 😀

Anybody here seen the Woolstone in the flesh?
Honest opinions welcome, mine has the black exterior pack and I’ll consider getting the bonnet wrapped black gloss and the rest in a satin PPF.

I’ve just ordered a 90 HT in Woolstone having never seen one in the flesh either. Please post some photos tomorrow!!

Considering having the bonnet and rear side panels wrapped in gloss black PPF and clear PPF to the rest.

Posted a few pics below:
Which model have you ordered and what is the turnaround time for delivery?

Mine is the d350 and I really like it.
Wanted the smaller wheels but the only in stock car in this colour and spec had the 22s.
Might sell or swap for some 20s with the knobbly tires which to many may seem odd but I find the extra tyre depth really helps to avoid damage and they suit the car equally as well as the 22s.

Pictures look great, thanks for sharing.

I’ve ordered a 90 HT, D250 X-Dynamic SE. It’s a business lease, so no extras added. I wasn’t planning on leasing one but the offer was too good to pass on

Delivery date yet to be confirmed, but anticipating April.

Well done to you.
If you’ve not had a d250 you’ll love it.
My first d200 was basic spec and no fancy add ons.
Even that was great for towing.

I do prefer the air suspension but because the first one had small steel wheels, the big tyres took care of the bumpier ride.

I’m considering buying a set if 20s used in the bay and running in those for winter but what er the case I love the car already.

[wilpert]

That was my d200 did 50k miles and sold it for what I bought it for.

[wilpert]

This was my d250. Lost 30k over 3 years but also covered 50k miles so not too bad.

[wilpert]

Loved the spec in that one, chequer protection and wheel arch protection.
Sorry to see that go but that got me a tax rebate and managed to offset a good chunk each year in capital allowance so a no brainer.

Just need to think about the bulkhead removal on this new one. Very tempted after seeing the same in a SWB Toyota Land Cruiser.

Congrats, great start to the new year. Nothing quite like the excitement of new car day.

Thanks,
Yes, I love being able to drive my landy as a daily driver, I manage around 350 miles a week and it’s like a mobile office for me.
