Thread: How a legend is made

Thanks, lebanon, it's a great insight into the production of the Defender and how labour intensive it is. I wonder what will happen to all those people once production ceases at the end of this year?

I also wonder if they were washing the finished product in the film or was that the infamous leak test.

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

I don't think that they were washing the finished product and it wasn't also the leak test.

This test is called "the quantitative fluid transition", this test measures the acceptable quantity of water that enters the defender when raining.

Australian assembly

Perentie construction? Maybe thats a jerry holder...

Possibly a 'Tenix' image cheers Dennis

About the 8th minute,was that a waterproofing test?

Or maybe just a good wash.
