Was lucky enough to tour the factory today and watch my new defender built on last day of 2015 production
Best Christmas present ever and what a great team at Solihull

Yes I've purchased a few defenders this year through my job
And I just sent an email and asked if I ordered a new one for me could I see it be built
A fantastic lady at the landrover vip experience agreed to try and sort something
So how lucky I got the last day of 2015 build today and a photo permit with no limit on the photos I could take
Best family day out for ages

More pics please! Bow down

Someone did something similar on my tour earlier in the year - they got pulled off the tour half way through to watch it being assembled in the post-paint stage, presumably with collecting it and driving home in it that day, what an experience that would be Smile

Did the tour about a month ago and it was a wonderful day, I was so excited to see how our 110 was built, but to actually see your own defender take shape... wow!!! Watching your own defender being built is SUCH a privilege! Lucky man!

Greetings,

Joris

Here's the doors stacked to go on
Interior being fitted
It's just a full spec xs which discounted was great value
I can't decide whether to go bowler upgrades or twisted with it
Big plans over time though and keep for ever
