I seem to recall when we visited Halewood last year the figure they told us was a car every 8 minutes came off the line, I cant be certain, do any of the others remember the figure?

Well if they are separate lines, then the Freelander figure I quoted works out to 9.5 per hour (is that possible?) and the Evoque about 19 (unlikely !?) I'm thinking the Telegraph may have been spun a line. 2020 Defender D200 110S Pangea Green

I can't remember the figures at the Halewood visit, but to answer the above post, the Freelander and the Evoque were being assembled on the same line at the same time and around a ratio of something like 3:1 or 4:1 in the Evoques favour.
