Then end of an Icon
It’s a sad day. The last Land Rover Defender has rolled off the firm’s production line in Solihull, 68 years after the iconic off-roader first went on sale.
Over its incredible lifespan, the Defender has been sold across the world, earning a reputation for reliability and ruggedness, as well as a go-anywhere spirit.
In the 21st century, the car’s old-school character has become a big part of its charm, and there’s little doubt the Defender is comfortably ranked among the most iconic vehicles of all time.
The very last model to be built was in fact the 2,016,933rd Defender. Some 9000 parts go into each model, and a 110 Station Wagon takes 15 hours to assemble in a poduction process which involves 550 people.
Modern cars are too similar to each other – no individuality..
Anybody here owned a Land rover ?
Humbles, Your observation is right. There is some hope in the 2nd quarter of 2016 for the automobile cos. Look what happened to VW ........... !
Auto companies aren't doing well for some time now. They may restart its production, who knows.
