Sounds like click bait to me. I can’t imagine they would relinquish rights. That would be too ridiculous even by JLR’s standards. |

Don't believe everything you see and hear. Although come to think of it, Her Majesty did. |

and they also said Defender production would end in 2015, there would be no V8 version, the new model wouldn't be based on the DC100... need anyone go on? As it's very clear JLR's market is so very different then why would they not want to generate some revenue from something that is effectively fully written down? I've emailed the author directly to double check the fact. I'll see if he replies. I see no problem in hoping this is true for now. It must be far easier/less expensive for INEOS to alter an existing model to suit than starting with a blank piece of paper. |

After reading discomog, I’d change my user name into something less fishy if I were you. ![]() Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |
