Is the alleged Special Edition Grenadier 1924 real? Yes

[TheDocAUS]

INEOS is about a year or so behind on the workshop manual promise to early orders. Toss us a bone.

Australian CEO addresses workshop manuals in latest video from Robert Pepper.

Hey INEOS!!! where the heck is my jacket????

 

[DeepH20]

The QM is available here in the US. I have one on order with delievery in Q4

Right

Wow.
You describe the vehicular equivalents to the woman below followed up with "it would have to be tastefully done"

oh cmon… be kind. I went out on a limb and responded to an impossible question that could not be answered without some criticism. And after a few pints on a cold winter night, even she could be considered tastefully done by most of you.

With the benefit of another day to think about it, I’ve warmed up more to the 1924. Would it ever replace my LWB SV Autobiography - no. Would I feel less like my family’s limo driver - yes. I would like to have one that’s not all kitted out to drive around town in. I’ll upload some new pictures of mine soon. It’s a complete field vehicle at this point.

none needed from where I'm sitting, winter or summer.

No one told you? You have to order a 1924 special addition now

I just popped on the configurator and built the 1924 (not much available to change). I then built a fieldmaster to as close as the same spec.
The Fieldmaster came out at £85,554, and the 1924 came out at £79,140.

The 1924 has a very nice spec for that price.

I have had a sit in it and it’s not too bad would question the dark headlining and some of the green accents however the black saddle leather wheel is really nice and the black control lobbies too.

I received an email this morning from Ineos advising I can now buy a 1924 edition if I wanted it
It gave me the option of selecting petrol or diesel
Magic mushroom or Inky black
A contrasting Inky black roof was standard on both, not sure how it was contrasting when Inky black was selected.
The only other add on that was possible was the smokers pack for $95 extra but who would want that??

 

[Chadd7]

Seems like overall prices are up 5%?

 

[TanisIndependentTraders]

got the invite today too. the configuration is almost exactly the same, other than color, utility belt, and the 1924 embellishments to my current Fieldmaster with one big exception... no winch option! Seems odd they wouldn't have that as something you can add.

prices out for me at about $86,000 US which is less than I paid for my current Grenny.

Frankly I thought there would be more unique aspects to this special edition.

They are assuming this will be a "lifestyle" vehicle I think
Made for the school runs rather than anything serious.
Possibly towing the horse float to the polo.

Something that I did look for and it isn’t there, is the Belstaff logo stitched into the headrests. Not much of a mammoth task but will probably make people feel they are getting something unique for their money instead of a couple of stick on badges.

I have a badge which is even more unique on mine. It looks like a medallion and has 349 engraved into it.

Don’t want it to sound like a hate post, but from a fan, I am still very much “meh” about it.

Like @ECrider says, they need to bring their communication pathways up to 1924 standard first.

Fact! Hard to imagine how Ineos has survived other cutthroat industry’s with these types of communication man… it’s literally insane. How much does an app cost that can track a vehicle build and progress???

I did the same thing, which does make it value for money if you want all those items as standard. Cheaper than your own specced vehicle.

Interestingly they added two standard items which are a must: Towbar and Side Steps.

e and the black control lobbies too.

Lobbies?

true but still more capable than a lot of others.

I'm tempted to place my order and time-capsule it and keep driving my 2024.

I read somewhere that MY25, the tow package will be standard across all Grenadiers. It probably easier from manufacturing to do one thing and roll the charge into the price increase.

My brain read this as "to the pool."

People take their horses swimming!!??

Oh...
Polo

First picture looks like Polo in the pool.

What is the problem? I've also been swimming with the horses. They love being up to their bellies in cool water. And my legs are cooled too. A win-win situation.

Yes, we take our horses to the beach and ride them in the sea. They love it. We often see the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment riding on the beach too.
