Nice job! I love Grasmere and would probably have that instead of Pangea had it been a regular production color.
Re: the color-coded wheels. Your black is an improvement, and I don't like black wheels. I was dismayed with how bad the Grasmere wheels looked and realized it's because of the complete modernity of them; 20", 5 spoke alloy. As such it channels "89 Pontiac Grand Am" rather than "Series II Land Rover."
I added 18" OEM steelies (black) to my P400 a couple years ago. I've always wanted them to be Pangea, to give homage to the original Land Rover (and Jeep) aesthetic. I have a 2014 Wrangler that works great visually with that scheme, but it's on 17s (or 16s in this picture, with my off-road 37" tires, but I also have 35s on 17" versions of the same wheel.) So I've imagined that spraying my wheels Pangea might look great. But I'm too chicken to try it so far.
At any rate, I've only seen one Grasmere on the road, on the interstate coming at me, and I was sure it was a wrap until I remembered the 75th Ed. I applaud you for buying one and I think it looks great with the black wheels.

Nice Pangea green 110. It looks very nice. I do like that color as well. Not a huge fan of steelies but I do understand them and why you would want them. I went with 33’s and better tires for the type of off-roading I do. I don’t plan on pushing the defender to the limits. Great thing about the auto industry there are lots of choices and everyone has their idea of what looks best. Lots of very nice defenders on here.
One of the stores near me gave up trying to sell their two 75th editions and just put them into the loaner fleet. It joined a truly heinous 90 Trophy Edition.

I have seen some just wrap them in black or Carpathian gray to make them move. Not to mention black coating the wheels - a must to sell these. Those green wheels are truly hideous. Not sure what LR was thinking...
I almost bought it because it was so loaded with options compared to anything else local to me. Biggest thing that held me back was the fabric roof.
it isn’t for everyone and it does look better in person. I had looked at it on the dealer website and was not too impressed. Then when I got there I was shocked at how it looked different and how much I actually liked it. I do think the wheels make a huge difference. I get compliments on it all the time people talk about how cool the color is. All individual preferences. As for the fabric roof I didn’t care as I don’t really like sunroofs anyway. I like that it is cooler and not as bright. Again just me. 😄

Totally agree, I think that green looks great in person. Like the green cross beam inside as well.

Wow, $112,000. My ordered 2022 P400 X-Dynamic SE with a lot of options (including ALL off-road and performance options) was $79,900 (I paid MSRP.). $32,000 more for what is the same vehicle best I can tell (other than cosmetics that don't actually cost JLR anymore to produce even though they're cool, and a fabric roof rather than the big-*** glass sunroof) sure seems hard to understand. I guess the world of loaded D110 P400s for 80 grand is never going to return.

You also get the little decal that says 75. That's gotta be $20k easily.

Yep. Exactly that. $20k for that decal is a bargain. I mean, it looks like a fully loaded P400 (not sure about the off-road chops), but yeah, forget about $80k-priced P400s. Mine is a P400SE 2020 and MSRP was $72k. I went online and built a 2024 with the exact same specs as mine and the price was reaching the $90ks. Ridiculous. I am just glad I bought mine back then.
