New Discovery Landmark ordered
Well, I've been and gone and done it. Went for a 2 hour test drive on Saturday and absolutely loved it, so ordered a new Landmark in Zanzibar (well I like it and someone had to do it)
Specced up with:
Surround cameras
Exterior detection pack
Centre cooler
Privacy glass
Tow pack
Park heating remote
Thanks to all who post on here, as it's reading your contributions that helped me make up my mind - been thinking about getting one for over a year but have never taken the plunge until now. Thought I'd get in before they stop making them.
Might need to change my forum name once I get it
Been given a provisional delivery of 31/03/2016 but it might be sooner. Will post pics once it arrives.
Cheers
C.

I have just had a phone call from my dealer seeing if I was interested in trading in my MY12 HSE for a new Landmark. He has gone away to work some figures out so will see what they come back with
I would go for the same options as you, although prefer Black

I've gone for the ebony interior, thought the Tan was just too Orange and as I'm planning on keeping it for at least 5 years was worried about the Arabica getting grubby.

Saw a Black in the showroom and it looked fantastic, but most of my mates have Black cars and they just seem to look dirty all the time. I personally don't like White and having had a Silver X-Trail for the last 6 years so wanted a change, which ruled out Indus and Waitomo.
Am pleased with my choice though, at the end of the day we all like different things - just REALLY impatient to get it

I know what you mean about the black, having had a couple of black cars in the past. I would go for a red one next but not an option in the landmark.

Dare to be different - love it!
Great colour choice - if it was available last year when we ordered, I would have been very tempted...

Well done on being brave,cant wait to see the pictures! I considered it but went black in the end. I've currently got a silver 2010 so Black was my only real choice.
I didn't bother with the fridge and am getting the dealer to fit the towing electrics as it's cheaper than the tow pack. The fitting is already there so you only need electrics anyway.
I've been told 11th march build and 26th delivery but also been told it could very well come forward. Thought I would just leave opening a thread until nearer the day.

Is Zanzibar the same colour as Zanzibar bronze on the Evoque?
If so it's completely different in the flesh to the photos, but someone had to take on for the team.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I believe it is the same as that's what the dealer said.
Saw it on an Evoque both in the showroom and the forecourt, so saw it under lights and what little sunshine there was through the rain
Happy with the choice.
