Excellent thanks 👍
I'd have liked to have seen the deflection at the bottom with someone standing on it? |

Can someone remind me, how is the 130 expected to differ from the 110? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

There's a few things to chew on in there So only 4.5k non~corporate sales per annum. I can't challenge the figures but that sounds low to me. Talk of niche vehicles, would loved them to have asked him about the Evoque convertible. More to add to the Disco family and space to take it somewhere else now. 🤫 |

Bigger boot and 8 seats ~ might of answered my own question as to why you can't have 8 seats in the 110, although it seems you could order the bits and do it yourself. |

Very old school, if you have to move bolts for every change. |

Click image to enlarge Would love to have seen a defender type grille incorporated into the front design. (Excuse the poor paint shop edit) Such a shame Gerry Mcgovern couldn't let his ego go and design something simple. All his designs seem to have a very boaty - shape look! |

I recognise a lot of that underbody.....pretty mush similar to the 405/494 AND 462 I'm building at the mo....Remember L663 production team having a few parts from my area when on L462 Putting Dreams on Drives at JLR Solihull..

I thought that was it, but in the interview posted above, McGovern says Defender will be "maximum 5+2 seating" and I don't think he is just referring to the current launch versions as it in reference to differentiating from the Discovery line. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Why would you attach a ladder to the side of a vehicle, so that it had to be extended to be reachable, angled to clear the widest part and under a bending load when stepped on when you have all the 'verticality' you need at the back? |

Ah, I see where you are coming from now. It does sound a little alarming... |
