MOD supplied with army Land Rovers at 10yrs ago price.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7052340.stm

Hobson Industries - "I am supplying the MOD with a brand new Land Rover at the price it was sold at 10 years ago, which is half what Land Rover charges for a new one now," Mr Hobson says.


"I've got the largest Land Rover parts store outside Land Rover," the 60-year-old entrepreneur declares as he inspects tonnes of scrapped components that he has amassed over the last two decades.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Hobson has been a good source of bits that dealers will tell you are now unobtainable, for years. Great guys to buy from because they sell on the Tesco principal - pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap.
Another one in the eye for GP over Land Rovers being unfriendly to the environment. - that bashed one shown on the BBC website will be stripped for it's parts, it's body shell can be cleaned of all the paint and then the aluminium can be melted down and turned into cola cans or even a new Defender! 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
