Thread: All discussions relating to the Defenders end of production

I'm with you there MrLandy.

They may be getting rid of excess stock, not 100%. If they estimate they need 15 spares and they have 19, 4 must go. The cost of warehousing can be significant

agree; I opted for one waste of time and money

OK Sunshine Coast club are hosting it..

Hi all AULRO group,

This Friday at approximately 7:30 PM Queensland time an historic moment will occur at Land Rover Solihull. The last Defender will be built, ending a line of 68 years of production.

A few Sunshine Coast Land Rover club members decided that this event can not go unnoticed and we have decided to mark the demise by holding a wake. We will gather at the exact time that the production ceases of the last Defender and celebrate the passing of an icon.

Details of the event.

We will be doing a BBQ sausage sizzle as well as finger food and snacks. This is a joint event with British Off Road and The Sunshine Coast Land Rover Owners Club. We hope to have at least one or two models present through the years, Series 1 , 2 , 2A , s3 as well as the different variants of Defenders.

Who can come?: Open to any owners or in fact anyone with an interest in Land Rovers whether you have a Series, Defender, Discovery, Range Rover or Freelander as they all were ultimately spawned from the Land Rover.
Where: British Off Road forest Glen, Queensland.
When : From 6.00 pm until around 8.00 pm. Friday 29th Jan. ( Please try and come early as we would like some photos in daylight.)
What to bring BYO drinks.
Dress: Black for mourning.
Cost: This is a free event.

If you are keen to come please let me or Derek know by Thursday for catering purposes. Brian: brianwolthers@gmail.com Derek: barcrest4044@bigpond.com
