So I've finally taken the plunge to buy my first landrover and absolutely astonished by the prices - especially of those that may have been customised by one of a number of companies; Twisted, Nene, Lucari, Urban etc. Seems the London jet set have moved from Porsche in to Landrover world.

The dilemma I have is whether to go for a low mileage 110 XS 14-16 for high 30's to low 40's or get an Expedition for low 50s. None of these have been customised. There are a few around - a couple with L/Rover dealers and one with Jim Hallam. Anyone had dealings with Jim Hallam and can they recommend them? Would you always go for main dealer?

Finally, out of the outfitters which ones do people recommend using, if at all?

Welcome any useful knowledge people can share.

 

I bought the 2020 110 First Addition and it is a mess. After owning the car for 2 weeks it was in the shop at the dealership for 10 days then they released the car saying the part is not available until November, then December now they won't even give a date. I cant drive the car over 50 miles per hour because of the cracking noise made by the wind ship. The rubber molding in the back door has come loose software issues, camera issues. I would never won't my worst enemy to buy a Defender. There are so many better choices. I am currently in discussions with a law firm to explore a class action suit.

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Personally I would avoid all Land Rover Defenders from 2020 forward.
