@Caravana Brisbane have kindly accepted an invitation to be Australias' first dealership to have a presence on the forum.

Randolph Ramos is Caravanas go to for all things Grenadier, so I'm sure Randolph will be able to help with any questions you have for the Australian market.

Welcome to the forum Randolph.

Excellent news - they are my local dealer - so will be great to see their involvement/interaction with the forum.

Hi guys, while you are discussing and waiting for the Grenadier for a long time, my son has configured his today and also got it delivered right away. He is already out in the outback and wanted to meet Crocodile Dundee. He uses the utility belts for different things. He has also already had to use his winch. Oh yes, look at the raised air intake, like the original, it looks like a pineapple can. 😃

Clearly not… Shame. It would be good to have an Aussie forum member in the inner circle. Given how engaged in the brand the members of this forum are I’m surprised one of the ineos marketing team has not deemed it appropriate to join… or have they? Is there someone in our midst that knows more than they are letting on?

I know they read here. I even know the guy. But I don't know his forum name.

He's a read-only member.

I've just pinged them again, they were very enthusiastic when I was emailing them in the Sumer, so we shall see.

They told me they are reading this forum but are trying to keep off unofficial social media.
I noticed Justin has answered a few questions on Facebook groups but then gets hammered by trolls and people asking stupid questions.

That's just how Facebook works in general isn't it?

Caravana have recently relocated their Ineos activity some 27km closer to Brisbane and re-branded the outlet as "Ignition Car Centre". I'm not surprised they've been quiet... they've probably been flat out trying to get ready as well as keep the rest of their business operational....
As with other agents, they haven't sold a vehicle or sold any "merch' etc so I'm suspecting that they and others have had to dig deep on a promise of future rewards and present a showroom in accord with Ineos's corporate image. That consumes a lot of A$5k-equivalent deposits!! Am hoping to drop by tomorrow....

I think SLRV have or will have a showroom up and running soon?
I just drove past there five minutes ago. Still black plastic over all the windows and a lot of landscaping to do, but functionally it looks very close to finished from the outside at least. Pity they have a fully gated & locked compound so no up close sticky-beaking.

And they are now branded as Expedition HQ.6C536733-7F47-40F3-8487-9363D1C67925.jpeg
