I didn’t go for it,I thought it looked a bot off against the black leather. If the full interior was available in saddle leather I think that would have been really nice. Probably until you saw the price!

Well the dog crate and drawers will have to wait until I have purchased it, will just use an eBay special wired cage before I get something a bit more Gucci

yeah, I doubt my Transk9 one from the D4 will fit in the Gren as too deep - shame, works well and for now fits both dogs in

the way the poll is going, looks like Nappa leather will be the 'rare' option!

sure;
533mm W x 952mm D x 736mm H

new; https://transk9.com/select/land-rov.../discovery-4-a-l319-2009-2016/b24ss-dog-cage/

or if redundant for my N1 SW you can have mine for a good price.

Could meet halfway to you from Lewes.

Of course there would be even more waiting involved as no sign of my Gen yet.
Thanks. Looks like I’m getting mine Grenadier before you otherwise I would have taken you up on the offer. It would fit in mine as going for a N1 two seat utility. With the DCPU Landrover the dogs just went in the back. Now need a cage.

@Logsplitter & @ECrider

Give DTboxes a look, I am looking at the half boxes either 500 or 600mm wide. They do a couple but I have also spoken to them at the shooting show and they are likely going to do one specifically for the IG.

Like you ECrider my very nice Lintran one won’t fit in the IG. 940mm deep 😢

Love all the dog crates on site. Is it a requirement in EU. I prefer to have my dogs riding shotgun.

Is it ex sheep , pig, goat or other farmyard animal skin?
I went the bovine option.

Reminds me of a movie line:
It rubs the lotion on its skin…..
Not sure I know that one, but The Stranglers song in the opening track of Sexy Beast goes
"Well I got the notion girl that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peelin' skin baby
That feels real good"
Of course this has nothing to do with saddle vs nappa, but eventually these threads run out
Hopefully the leatherworkers stitch 'em up well for heavy duty use.
Ah the tanning industry. Disgusting job. Is it done by machines these days?

Sexy beast. One of my favourite films. Ben Kingsley plays the most menacing gangster possible.
