Little convenient given their recent announcement of 4,000 jobs at stake.
Wasn’t it already shit canned for not being capable enough, reliable enough, and cheap enough?
British engineers did it before and if management leaves them alone, they could do it again.
Maybe not in a JLR R&D hut though.
None of the vehicles up for consideration are built in the UK. Why have we let manufacturing disappear?
Does this mean they’re going back to making proper old school 4×4’s, or are they expecting troops to drive around in a version of the Chelsea Tractors they currently make? …Good luck with that, there’s a reason the only Land Rovers that the overlanding and 4×4 communities use are the old out of production models.
Probably stick the mIngenium engine in it for extra reliability.
I honestly thought the Babcock/Supacat/Toyota already had the contract
