I heard that on the radio, on my way home, earlier. I had expected to see it already discussed on here as to whether this now makes the new Defender a "dead cert" for build in Slovakia - or whether this frees up capacity in the UK.

Presumably cheaper to build and provides free access to the EU?

Together with the new Defender that’s already two models exclusively assembled in the Nitra plant. Definitely cheaper labour, probably higher quality too. Nitra start up late 2018, so maybe a new Defender by late 2019?
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
