Loads of people are buying them.

My dealer still has a 9-12 month lead time on orders and they won't take an order for a Commercial at the moment.

So much for a "recession"

Well that’s annoying. Am I safe to assume the will be applied retrospectively to hard tops ordered a few months back (ie mine!)?

l was told 16-18 months for my HT but it actually arrived after 9 months.

Hopefully the increased production will shorten waiting lists but it depends which models they focus on. l imagine more money will be made from the models higher up in the range.

2010 Defender 130 Puma 2.4 HCPU Zermatt Silver

Plenty of them around Yorkshire dales / east Cumbria, shame the bloody drivers of them don’t know where their near side is, or possibly they don’t want to scratch their lovely new SUV on the hedge! When I approach one on a narrow lane I just want to scream “it’s a bloody defender pull over the hedge will not bite”
I followed one earlier this week it passed a cyclist with less than 12” to spare but would not tuck in for a feed waggon. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

This is a slightly different story to the one I was being told by JLR and my Dealer for the 15 months waiting on my 110 in 21/22 - who told me they don't have the parts to build the vehicles..

Now it seems like the bottleneck is staffing... not...parts..

I wonder when this narrative changed.

Staffing is an utterly controllable issue. NOT something I would agree warrants price increases from deposit to delivery..
