14 Power points/rear view and split doors????

I'm afraid the poor rear visibility won't stop others from blinding me. So a self dimming mirror still makes sense. And I'd even like to have them as side mirrors.

Self dimming mirrors are imo the best convenience option I've ever seen. They stay invisible as you don't simply notice them. The silently do their job, don't talk to you end never ask for attention. This is one of the features you won't miss until it's gone.

I agree to 100 %. But hopefully the effect of beeing blinded will not occure that often in a two metre high vehicle as it occurs in your Mercedes.

I think you're right

You mean, the Ineos representative was right ?

I intend to install a self dimming mirror - you're absolutely correct about missing once you don't have one. I put one in my 80-series LC and loved it.

Does anyone know whether there are regulations for exchanging rear mirrors within the EU? Is there something like an certificate needed?

My advice: don't ask.

If you always ask, the day will come when you can't even take a shit without a permit.

I’m flirting with one of these, noting the rear loadspace will be occupied.

Very nice and great idea. I think new LRs have a setup like that.

I've asked this before elsewhere, can someone tell me / show me a picture of where the medium outlet bonnet is in the front of the car!?

Don’t think I have seen the details on this or any pictures anywhere

Front and Rear View cameras.
I would really like to see an option for front and rear view cameras.
At the rear the best would be like my daughters Toyota Highlander You have the choice of a regular flip to dim rearview mirror, and the option to switch to a screen that shows through the mirror which show a video from the backup camera (may actually be from a second camera that's not as wide angle a view... not sure) That way you can see past the tire and ladder when driving in a crazy place like Boston roads)
At the front a camera that shows the terrain directly in front of the truck, something that is hidden by the the high hood. It could display on the center console Very useful for slow crawls over rough ground, but also to keep from running over little kids in the driveway. Think that is alarmist? Watch this video on front blind spots in pickups and SUVs.

in America, we have a similar saying: "it's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission."
If you ask, the answer is "no".

I didn't find the secondary footwell outlets on my Trialmaster while visiting my dealer and inspecting "my almost" car

They are probably tucked up behind the dash
They are just sockets connected to the wiring loom, not fixed outlets

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but here is a close up of one of the rooftop power points.

I don't think the plug shown here is correct - my understanding is that it's a female Deutsch socket that will take the Deutsch plug supplied with most quality driving lights.

Indeed.

What is under the centre cubby box? I recall they originally had an inverter slated for this running into the back footwell/air vent.
