Could any of the folks with some 3-D modeling noodle around with how much room mounting the spare in the boot would take up? My IIA LR had the spare mounted on the rear door and over time if ruined the hinges. I tried it on the hood, but that blocked the forward view too much and ruined the weight balance.
No news. Last week I tried to call Mr. Anselment, but he did not pick up. Mr. Horn (CEO) then called me back and told me that Mr. Anselment is completely swamped with work at the moment. There are 43 cars in the yard and the documents for the first four cars have arrived - digitally via the right computer channel (!), no more manual work. That gives some hope.
You go offroading with no spare tire? As someone said elsewhere, I'd rather have it and never need it than the other way around.
The visibility is absolutely fine with wheel and ladder. Just a big black labrador looking out may Trump everything, but fortunately he lays low
Yes, I forgot that detail in my first impressions. I'd class the view as excellent, but then I am comparing it to a old Defender double cab with opaque plastic window in the canopy.
That looks great without the spare. Probably helps the rear vision.
