Thank you.Fixed.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing the demonstrator vehicles at Purnell Adventure when they arrive.
Thank you.Fixed.
So are there any real photos (rather than renderings) of these?
Are they trying to stimulate imbalance as part of the test program

"Hocevar confirmed that there are another 18 PTO2 vehicles on the way to Australia, which will be pressed into duty as local event marketing vehicles, demonstrators and press vehicles."

I asked Ineos support this morning what is currently coming down the production line - PTO3, LS1..?
To their credit I’ve already received a response today. They don’t know, but they have asked the Production team the question and will get back to me.
My 2c, with only guess work and a long chat at the Sydney 4x4 show with Justin (who was very kind with his time, thank you Justin)…I think the pics Justin H posted on his LinkedIn are LS1 (Launch Series 1) demonstrator vehicles with final spec that are road worthy and bound for dealers. As DaveB previously attributed, these will not be available for public resale, but maybe later though. This also lines up with Davman’s post above. The timeframes of November were mentioned.
There was mention at Syd 4x4 of a LS2 to follow briefly after LS1 as the final sign off before customer builds commence. The pics and Davman’s conversation make me quietly confident things are heading in the right direction.
Given that Mark Tennant has said customer cars will start being built in October, then the LS1 & LS2 would seem to be very short & limited runs.PTO2 – LS1 – LS2 and Production.”
that fits with what the Ineos man at Firle Place Uk said yesterday. He said there will be 2 more versions before production and those versions will be rolled out 'quickly'. Afraid wasn't able to quantify quickly.
To close the loop…
I received today the response from Ineos regarding my question above as to what is coming down the production line - PTO3, LS1, etc. (they did get back to me a few times since my initial question to let me know they were still chasing).
Response:
“The first INEOS Grenadier has rolled off the assembly line in Hambach with customer deliveries to start in December. Regarding your inquiry about the stages of post PTO2, the production team replied that we have: PTO2 – LS1 – LS2 and Production.”
I’ve responded today and asked if LS1 is rolling down the production line currently.
