YTD to September sales for Defender are ~4500 according to this... http://newsroom.jaguarlandrover.com/en-in/...and_rover/

Sometimes JLR confusingly uses financial year to date rather than calendar YTD without stating what it is. I would suspect that a much larger % of sales is going to home market than rest of range which is ~20-25%. Personally I'm not surprised rest of Europe is only taking about 10% of sales. Outside of the UK it's not that popular and is a very niche vehicle for new sales in most European markets.

Cheers

Steve

There is no reason why they wont keep production running for the export market, its not like the replacement will be made on the same production line.

Morning,

Im a member on some other LR forums but i came across this one last night and it looks brilliant and full of great information.


Yes the source is rather reliable. A long time friend who is a employee on the production line. His role is part supply and quality control of parts.


At this stage i would not personally trust any information 100% as there will be a lot of (grape vine rumours)

I don't want to be rude, but if your mate does parts quality control on defenders he needs shooting and I think a few people on here would like to lynch him Mr. Green

welcome, a good sense of humour will do you well here!

have you got a defender yourself?

back ON TOPIC, id love (as said before) there to be a special edition last defender, it'd be the most sought after one ever, and no doubt a pretty solid investment! Cheers, David
