If the P300 is still available in your market, I would go for it.
I had a 90 P400 and it was great. Neither P300 or P400 is available in Australia. Only petrol option is P425, a detuned P525 5.0L V8 due to emissions rules.

It makes the Defender look like how the 2025 marketing team want it to look. I like them looking like how the 2019 marketing team wanted them to look.

Yeah, this cyber attack is causing a lot of issues. I read that the Slovakia factory has been shut down for multiple days.

I currently have a Range Rover rental and it won't let me create an In Control account, so I cannot use the app with the vehicle and I cannot log into Pivi on the vehicle.

I'm curious if this impacted my MY26 110 despite it already being produced. My vehicle was supposedly already at the port in Europe on 8/15 awaiting a ship; however my SA has not received any updates since then. I wonder if it's been delayed or already enroute in the ocean?

Spoke to an SA today who said the “cyber incident” still has the plant shut down and they can’t put in orders right now. Some vehicles are being moved through ports though.

Someone must have gotten JLR pretty good to cause this much disruption.

Wow this is insane. My Defender was scheduled to start production on 10/3 but it sounds like it would be pushed back a couple of weeks. I hope they get everything online soon.

Same production date with my order. If it arrives at the dealer after 12/31 they can keep it. The main reason I ordered a new one was for the section 179 tax break in 2025.

My delivery date is 11/28 and I'm in Texas. I was told to give it a week or two on that date. I really hope I get it before the end of December. I started this whole process back in April, so I'm basically the kid waiting for Christmas.

Plant closed through at least 9/17, hopefully they prioritize personal orders whenever they get back online.
