Land Rover extends Defender production

Yes, it looks as if production will be extended,...slightly.
The issue being caused by a surge in orders for the "last" Defenders, but I don't think there's any panic, from what I hear, the factory is still operating on only one shift..
However, I don't think anything's changed much,...I reckon that if you tried to order a new one now, to your own specs, the only chance you'd have is if your dealer had an unallocated build slot, the specs of which, at this stage?, could possibly be changed?

Yes...and this article makes it clear that it truly is the end of the road for Defender.
"...A Defender that makes more friends will necessarily be a kinder-looking truck - McGovern characterizes it as less "overtly functional" and "more sophisticated."
Next Land Rover Defender will 'have to wash its face' to gain broader appeal
Could just be gossip..
Land Rover extends Defender production
We do gossip here, Jerry. :twisted:
No Surprises, & nothing's changed really.
Just a few more orders at the end of production than was anticipated means they couldn't make 'm all by 18/12!

The Australian, today, page 16, picked up this story too.
I'm expecting the new Defender to be kinda like LR's version of the Ford Ranger, including a wagon body, to tell the truth. I can't see how anything else is possible if they want to sell 100,000 of them a year.
That's all good of course, because it will make the current Defenders more desirable for us owners.
