United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Baltic Blue

Much like the Discovery, it is not being built in the UK, but alongside the Disco in Nitra. Confirmed last night.

Wales 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Mauritius Blue

Not sure we could call the move to build outside the UK a shock - suspect most of us could see that coming ages ago.

Interesting to get more photos though - especially the Tusk liveried one.

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Loire Blue

To mark a significant development milestone, @LandRover has donated a 2020 Defender prototype to @tusk_org to help protect elephants in Kenya: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-car...ender-2019

My son in Kenya lives in the area which is about 200km from the LR dealer in Nairobi. The garages around there seem to be able to cope with a Toyota pickup if you can fix it with a set of spanners and a lump hammer but good luck with this one. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Indus Silver

If that is the final look, I like it - including the livery.

But if the rumours of the prices starting at £45k are true then that is Discovery territory. Not quite the utilitarian truck end of the market. 2019 Discovery Sport Landmark in Corris Grey

Not sure sure this particular Defender will be very utilitarian Wink Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

It looks very much like an FL2 at the front but with a wheel on the back door. Almost a merger of FL1 and FL2 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

£38k/£42k is what I’ve heard.

£45k tops is what I’m hoping for, I can see this being crazy prices. I’ll be happy with the 2.0 D240, Apple CarPlay, privacy glass and LED headlights. But I’ll just have to wait and see. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Mr Tusk got a damn sight more than that for the filthy deal that was Nitra.

Hope that the deal keeps the Remoaners happy, although I'm sure that very soon they will have something else to bitch about. Meantime, another bit of BRITISH heritage falls by the wayside in the interests of political correctness.....

I wonder if the President of the European Council will get one as his company car as part of the Brexit deal ?
