Well they all work for LR so they're obviously trying to make a point |

Presumably also they haven't forked out tens of thousands of their own hard-earned cash so perhaps are less worried about looking after them.

I did wonder about the next "real" owner, and whether they would wonder why they kept finding dust and dirt around all the plastic finishings and wondered where it all was coming from...
All in the current lockdown, where was he planning on taking this? |

Is that to dispose of the contents of the boot or the whole vehicle?

Had it been an old Defender I’d have said the whole vehicle

If one wants to use a practical vehicle to move things with , a tray is way more practical , in this modern Era , a Ranger or Hi Lux .
Maybe not a glorified , way too expensive Disco Defender thing . Remember that Land Rover has a global reputation of making fragile and unreliable vehicles , so another expensive complex suv in there line up Will only add to this reputation ! With more and more models , yet sales volumes static if not falling , I fear they will not survive post Covid 19 . First casualty needs to be Jerry . |

It is a Disco 5.... Just with some cheap to manufacture plastics tacked onto it and some revised software..... It doesn't matter how bad it is, It can always get worse... 2013 Bowler 110 (Sold) 2016 Bowler 90 Rally Spec (Sold) |

Yes unfortunately it is a Discovery , had a little giggle
When the new Defender was following its same running gear D5 around the real hard core Eastnore Castle practice track . It is what it is , but will this thing save JLR ? It appears to me that it will appeal on looks and price to the fashionable Range Rover set ! Will this pull in conquest volume sales from other Manufacturers ? I fear not . JLR needs an affordable volume sales vehicle And electric options. . |
