A heartfelt and thoughtful article - thanks for sharing.

Although, did anyone else have a little giggle at the idea of Maurice Wilks having help designing the first Landy from Lister, Kryton, Rimmer and the Cat? Wink 2005 110 XS - Cairns Blue "Bertha" - Gone, and sorely missed

Hi all! It is Olivia hijacking dad's login! Thank you all for the great comments! I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. It is interesting to see many different views regarding the future of Landy.

It is clear that this similar debate has been raised with other companies like Mini/BMW and Fiat as Joe has mentioned. I actually own a Fiat 500 and I love it! But I can see how there is a division of opinion with Mini.

With regard to the 110 heritage edition. I saw a couple in Solihull. I didn't think they were going to look as great as they did. I had always thought that the 90 would suit the heritage more, I have been proven wrong!

Happy Chugging!

I did the tour on Monday, like everyone else I can't believe how "hand made " they are, our guide reckons production will be extended beyond its current date, how long he wouldn't say, however my mate came with me, he is in stock control software he has several customers who supply JLR and particularly defenders they reckon production may be moved to Turkey but it is just a rumour, maybe just wishful thinking on their part I dunno

Don't recall where I read it - but apparently it is Slovakia.

I think the Slovakia story is about new production to start in 2018, and no actuals model have been named yet.

The Turkey story is about where the current tooling and production line may move to when finished with in the UK.

So booked the tour for myself for monday 7 December at 1PM.
Flying in the morning from Geneva, arriving BHX at 10.00 am, departing BHX again same day at 19.00 hrs, so nicely done in 1 day, even have time for a little lunch before the tour I guess. Laughing

As above, myself and another def2 member from Geneva will take the afternoon tour on monday 7 December...
Anybody else on here booked the same? I know the tour is sold out for that afternoon.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I looked at the website quite a few times before buying.
I noticed that often you could look and say the whole of September showed no availability, then look again a couple of days later and there were plenty.
Not sure whether it is cancellations, or whether they are deliberately releasing a few at a time, maybe to even out demand?
No idea. But if anyone wants a ticket and they haven't got any, might be worth while looking again later rather than giving up Thumbs Up

Just booked me and the good lady on the morning tour for October 1st. Not many slots left now!
Why do other people look unimpressed when you tell them you're going on a factory tour?! Laughing
