New generation of the Land Rover Defender 4x4 to be built in Slovakia | Daily Mail Online
I have a money jar set aside for the new Electric Defender, if the Defender resembles the rest of the LR family (RR/ D5) I wont be buying it & will get the I-pace instead.Quote:

Lose Now, Win Later | Jaguar Land Rover is moving all production of its Land Rover Discovery SUV to Slovakia from a plant near Birmingham, and retooling the Birmingham factory to make a new generation of electric cars, Kaye Wiggins reports.

If British-made (not British branded) parts are used it could take the product past the acceptable percentage of non-EU content.Quote:
