Hahahah

I love that contrived photo of a fork lift placing a carton in the back

Bloody hell what a joke - it’s a glamorous overpriced small format transit or hi-ace

One more swing and a miss by JLR

You have to remember that commercial vehicles are GST free in the UK , Ireland and several European countries.

Even so.....still an expensive 'van' with high end servicing costs.
Unless you have a need to take a van seriously offroad I don't see a big market for it.

The article writer didn't see a market for it in the US.

There were similar versions of the D2 and D3 and the vast majority of original Defenders that we saw in the UK were hardtops with no rear windows. Its definitely a market niche over there.

And D4, a 2dr hardtop would be a good thing for those that don't need the rear seats.
