Thread: Defender of the Faith No More: Land Rover to Build Iconic 4x4's Successor in India -

I'm not sure that this should be a surprise to anyone. I give it 10 years and there will be NO british built land Rovers or Range Rovers. I think that maybe there will be a design and study studio in the UK but they will all be made in India. All it will take is one more recession and the British workers asking for a payrise, the British government refusing to help with financial aid and TATA will take it all overseas. The Chinese did it with MG-Rover. Bought the remains of the company and shipped the manufacturing tooling to China lock stock and barrel. The government even helped with the shipping costs. Shame on the British government for allowing the Indians to buy one of the last iconic motor manufacturers left in the UK.

The Indians will build a better Defender and at lower cost.

When I did some work on an RRS last year, I noticed a lot of the aluminium engine parts were made in India.
