My gut feeling is that the article is crap. Manufacturers would adjust the rate at which the cars were made to suit the market.
This article seems to indicate that generally car purchases have remained steady over the past couple of years at least, better and worse in some parts of the world. And in fact the table indicates that Landrover sales in 2013 improved almost 10% compare to 2012. GM, Ford and Nissan all down by a few percentage points.
You would think it's crap, that the automotive manufacturers would be able to adjust their output easily.....but no.
Those pictures are just a few years out of date. There really was stockpiles of thousands of new cars. My bro-in-law is based not far from the disused Upper Heyford, and apparently the cars they have left there are mostly able to be stored under cover.
The airfield at Gaydon had 1700 Series One Discoveries parked on it at the time of the introduction of the Series II.
I don't know what happened to them.
