Will sell my VW Alltrack for the Ineos. Maybe the '66 C10 as well if it doesn't see much use.

I'm intrigued to hear what car the intended Grenadier will replace.

I know this can be a bit of a grey area for some who have many cars, maybe your functional car replacement if it's an addition or adding to a collection.
Mine will be replacing my 1998 DX 4.2L Nissan Patrol. I waited for the for the first delivery of the new GU model to arrive back in 98 here in Aus Here I'm waiting for another newbie in the long wheel base version

never seen one of those Gwagons before, very nice indeed - are you selling it?

Also the audi plate would transfer to the Grenny?
G wagon sold on auction last week, Audi for sale but may use Ineos part exchange that gave me an excellent figure online but now doesn’t work….:unsure:

I will sell GR13NDR I think as I also have BMW IG plate

So, replacing the below, the Grenadier is:
05 Triton GL - tray - no AC - no Auto stuff - manual winders for windows - not even 4X4, 100% will kidney shot you on bumps - but genuine good truck!!!

You won't know yourself!
I mean this is the worst car I have ever owned for comfort... but it carry's stuff, works as advertised and has NEVER missed a beat. It even starts on a half flat battery it's that badly reliable!
I can however vouch that your back, knees, hips, neck and most other parts will be affected by long term use of this type of vehicle!!!
Did I forget to mention no radio, no hand's free.
One thing it has that blows the market away is the 'cup holders'. Simply the best most logical well planed position EVER and I use them every day. One to hold phone, the other coffee!!!

Grenadier to replace my 2012 NA L322 . . . which as I write this, is an interesting idea. If Ineos can bring back a true Defender rival, why couldn't they make a successor to the Range Rover Classic?

I think what we have now is virtually a RR classic. :eek:

No immediate plans to replace any vehicle until Grenadier proves itself. Then, perhaps, it might replace either a 200 or 300 series Land Cruiser. Difficult shoes to replace though..

DesertGecko - agreed to a large extent the ethos of the IG is reminiscent of a RRC, but there is something inherently graceful about a RRC . . . while the IG is a smashing great beast of a machine.

Tomato - lovely 2 door RRC! Hoping as part of the restoration the tinted rear windows go :)

I'll get a photo - its legendary good trust me. I wish the GREN had them and I mean it - be ready!
As promised!
You cannot find this anymore. Best location, easy reach, serves multipurpose role, hides away when not required. Yes, two coffees! Swap one out - smartphone holder!
I would kill for this in the GREN!

blocks off a bit of the radio and fan/heating controls. nothing is perfect, seems ideal for you though.

This car never had radio, I put that 2nd hand thing in but it does not work and when it does, I listen to only one channel for life. As for fan heating, I don't have A/C (fan only) so I set it to 2 dial on the FAN, and never moved since.
It is the best location I have ever had in a car for cupholders!
