I did the factory tour of the old Defender line too - the other issue was how labour intensive it was to build compared to the modern range. 

It was a bespoke vehicle , thats the thing and what should of happe doe  is a utility landrover and a town spec one ,

When I looked round the Solihull factory, they admitted, their words not mine 'why make a £40k car for farmers when you can make a £100k car for city boys'

The thing is landrover was unique and could be specd to order, that was the amazing thing about it ,the is no other brand u can do that with , thats what landrover missed out on, now u have a heap of shit that resembles a freelander that isn't worth wank,

Years ago I had a lr built to order , cost 30k in 2001, along came a townie and offered 80k ... I should have sold it to him but didn't.

Shame (in a sense) you can’t buy Defender kits. Save some labour cost on them. 
 

Unless it actually makes it more expensive by being a picking and packing nightmare. I can’t see Amazon leaping to partner with them.
