Nope, forget them too, even if they were in existance, (& who says they are?)...I say they ain't.
Seriously, I say, after 1/16,...."It Is Finished".

They were being built a month or so ago when we were in KL, & the sales manager at the KL dealership had not been told that production would be stopping, even gave us a brochure for the Defender - 110 High Cap pick up, 110 Double Cab & 110 Station Wagon.

The following is some info on where they are built from CKD's: Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab now in Malaysia

Avion,....I say, it is STILL finished.
Wait & see, Pickles.

I say that there will be no more Defenders (as we know & like them), made, after January 2016.
After that, who knows,....... the "New Defender??...who knows?
I say, the Defender as we know it, is FINISHED, after 1/16.

Land Rover have never said they would be no more old Defenders, just no more made in the UK. Would be mind blowing stupidity not to continue making them overseas, i.e. India cheap workforce, oh and a nice new 20,000plus military contract.

You've never worked for a big company, have you. [emoji4]

.....the number of 'would be mind blowing stupidity not to's' in the world is mind blowing.

Like why wouldn't Land Rover build a vehicle aimed at the global mining industry?

Like how could Land Rover let its legendary defence contracts expire due to no new vehicle suitable?

Like why wouldn't Land Rover build a new 4WD work truck and 4WD van range to compete with Toyota & VW?

Oh the mythical new Defender I hear you say? It's mind blowingly obvious! But it doesn't exist... Yet.

These post-limited edition old new Defenders are just as mythical.

Now can we get back to more pics from you lucky few who actually have real limited edition Defenders? I'm living vicariously and I need nourishment! 👹

"20,000 military contract"???!!!!.....Perhaps you could tell me how long it has been sinse the Defender has been the subject of such an order?
Anyway, there's under two months for Defender to finish,...so we'll soon see who's correct.
Pickles.

Define finish,
Solihull line closes
Last CKD assembled
Last new one leaves a dealer

But agree we are talking weeks , not months

The boat carrying mine has just pulled up at Melbourne, not long now!

There was talk early in the year of Land Rover continuing production of the current shape Defender in India to sell to emerging markets in Asia and Africa, but I very much doubt that's going to happen.

JLR recently announced that they're building a 300,000 unit capacity factory in Slovakia, with production commencing in 2018. I'll bet just about anything that the new Defender will be rolling off that production line when the time comes.
