Anyone seen a new Defender in the flesh?

Saw two yesterday in Dorset, one in Weymouth and one in Lulworth. Presumably visitors as I doubt if the locals could afford one. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

seen a few about, various colours and all 110 obviously. They look really good to be fair and instantly recognisable as a Defender.
Besides the price though they aren't enough to get me out my D4 especially after its just had an Alive remap Very Happy

Saw one on Monday morning for a couple of minutes on the Pacific Highway at North Sydney. I'm guessing it's a staff drive car headed to Alto Land Rover.
Only saw it from the back, in blue IIRC.

Very exciting. MY11 SD4 SE Auto

Saw one in Inverness last week in hotel car park, it seemed huge - possibly an optical illusion as it was parked next to my 'compact' hire car
