I doubt it but don't know, my contacts at Land Rover haven't worked there/retired nearly 20 years ago

As they don't make anything here they don't need a 'factory' any longer just maybe a distribution centre.

Who assembled the Landys in OZ

I'm naively imagining in a dusty old drawer there are some of the Tanami decals waiting to be discovered.

Someone was looking at getting them re-made back in 2014 (contact lro11)
Mine were removed along with the 'Defender' decal, just the 'Tanami' left on the doors.

If you read through some of the threads the decals are either loved or hated.

Are yours faded/damaged or not there ? If there are no decals what makes yours a Tanami ?
Mine has the decal on the rear and the Les Hiddins hat & signature painted each side at the rear plus the Tanami on the doors.

Mine are there, quite faded, but 100% intact, so I guess that makes me lucky. Some of the photos they look very bright.

Not even a distribution centre. They go straight from the docks to the dealers. They have a head office and training centre which is now in Mascot, having recently moved from North Ryde.

As I typed that it crossed my mind that a third party would probably handle shipping and distribution to the dealers.
One of my boys briefly worked at the local LR dealership, they mentioned a training centre in Docklands, Melbourne.
Seems Kangan are covering some of the training Kangan Institute launches NSW training for Jaguar Land Rover apprentices
