End Of Road For Iconic British Land Rover, 'Defender'!

[Arthur Little]

Alas, :bigcry: ... the manufacture of this iconic mode of transport - immensely-popular with everyone from farmers to Royalty - will cease tomorrow, when the last of its kind will roll~off the assembly line at its plant in Solihull ... after almost seven decades of unbroken production.

:cwm24: ... WHY, for God's sake? Can't the makers "defend 'er"?

Saw it on BBC 1 this morning, they were good to work on as in changing engines and gearboxes, plenty of room to work in, but as most were used on farms and off road the fixings were seized!

Fantastic vehicles. Unique in capability and quality.

Spent many happy hours with the Land Rover folks. One of our best customers :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Goodbye to another British Icon.
I'd agree the visual concepts were out out of date, but the capabilities and performance were outstanding IMHO
