My 58 plate GS auto arrived yesterday morning from Peterborough. Nice chap from "Pro-Driver" drove it up to Edinburgh for me. Permagrin already installed ! 
Took her off down to Galashiels for lunch, along to Peebles and back up to Edinburgh. Absolutely delighted !
Obviously the dealers down south are willing to do some amazing deals. The local LR guys just couldn't even look at the deal I got through Myfleet. (there again that's probably why they have so much unsold stock they claim they can't get rid of).

T5 Production just gone down from 56 Per Hour to 34 Per Hour with the Night shift also being scrapped.(Not Good). I think there will be lots more deals to be had very very soon.

Hurray, I'm not alone.
I picked up a 58 plate manual GS on 2nd September and haven't seen another 58 plate anywhere.

That's mine ...... avatar colour is not too good ....... Atacama/Alpaca
The few D3's around here are black/grey/silver/white
Have seen some red/buck/tonga from interstate recently.
SWMBO likes the Stornoway,but trading time was not on my side for paint choice with Alpaca.

Plants here are on short runs for large cars too ............. it's all heading downhill ........ hold on to your cash unless you're really sure what you're doing........ it's going to be ugly for a few years to come.
