This is my very first Land Rover and boy I'm excited to have this be part of our tiny car collection. After years of watching videos on the Defender, reading articles and just dreaming of doing fun adventures. We were finally in a good position to add one to the family. After a few weeks or deciding on color, which options, and also which dealership, we landed on this 2023 Defender in Tasman Blue with Vintage Tan interior. We didn't have a lot of requirements in terms of options. 6 cyl, Sunroof, Air Suspension were pretty much it. This one was pretty darn loaded and we fell in love with the color combo.
We are planning a road trip later this year and then hopefully up to snow, some camping and maybe even drive to Canada. Some todos I want to add over the next few months:
Roof rack + roof tent
Rear door table attachment
Mud flaps
Side steps
Purchased from the nice folks over at Land Rover Riverside. No markup and they threw in a bunch of extras too.
Looks beautiful. You didn't add wheel spacers did you? Extended fenders typically make the wheels look inset, but yours seem to sit more flush that usual.

Thank you! I haven't added spacers, no. But you're right, they do seem a bit more flush.
Welcome to the club! That is a great color combination and it looks like your pup is already loving it. I also bought my CPO Defender from Riverside earlier this year and they were great to work with as well. Enjoy!
23.5 P300 Defender S, ordered 4/12, picked up 8/22
Had windshield protection film installed (taking a long, long road trip starting Saturday, let you know if the film works). Also did a bit of a custom look with gloss black PPF on the hood and tailgate, homage to the Carpathian model. Old school "Land Rover" badging instead of "Defender" on the hood and tail gate. Thinking of black steelies -- I really like the way the black wheels look on your car -- but will decide after this road trip.
We got this one to replace our 21 P300 (Pangea Green with white contrast roof) that had 48.5k miles. Didn't have any issues with 21, only went to the dealership for oil service and tire rotation (every 5k) and to replace the windshield. We're hoping this one treats us as well.
Specs:
Black Contrast Roof;
Panoramic Sun Roof;
Premium LED headlights; Front Fog lights; Ebony Headlining
Air Suspension Pack; Cold Climate Pack; Off Road Pack; Urban Pack;
