Very good bit of video.

Now THAT should be in consideration for the Best Film Oscar.

I also like the way you saw the water-spray test BUT there was no scene showing the review/rectification area... I guess that was either a) there isn't such an area, which would explain a lot of problems owners have reported or b) they didn't want to show the opening of the doors and 4,000 litres running out....

Seriously, given it's the end of an era, that video's a keeper - I imagine it will be hauled out 50 years from now, on half-century end-of-production remembrances.

Great video, thanks for posting

Highlights the high level of hand-assembly and surprisingly low level of automation - a true motoring relic

That is a GREAT video mate, many thanks for posting it!

They look great 'lowered' (no wheels on) eh!

It is easy to see why they are so expensive to build... all those processes and hands on building... Such a shame production is ceasing...

My silver and black one is there too!!!

Amazing cars!

This made me laugh until my sides hurt. My 2000 TD5 110 leaks so bad that water does come out of the doors when I open them. Just lucky we live in WA where it hasn't rained since early November

Almost made me want to not sell my Defender.
