Land Rover Dismisses Claims of Defender Rebirth

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/land-rov...9417.html#

 Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Rumours are LR is exporting the production line to India to build them for the rest of the world where there are no Euro6 etc rules to stick to (will we have to have them after BRexit?) so in a few years time you might be able to personal import a Tata Defender............... From India 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I can not see this or any govt abandoning Euro 6 - emission control is here to stay so I can't see importing being an option unless we have a classic system like USA

Personally I wouldn't want a Defender built in China, India or anywhere but the UK

The series 2a I fancy has just been reduced from £22500 to £17500 "due to Brexit" - decisions decisions  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

A £17k S2a would have to be amazingly original in great condition. Having been prettied up doesn't a valuable car make. Of course, they're a popular thing at the moment so lots of people buying shiny ones for silly money. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
