I'll be  if they do add something we want next year before the big change.
Can't quite see why they'd stop production that early when the D5 is (apparently) not to be launched till next September time ... It doesn't take that long to change a line over surely ?

I suppose that it all depends on how radical they intend to be with their re-tooling. Considering that the plant has been pretty much at capacity, this could be an opportunity to make major changes. 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

Is the FFRR still made on the T5 line? Last time we had a visit the old RR building was being demolished prior to a new line being built. Wonder if the D5 will coincide with the new FF line.
