Not that it can in anyway be considered as factual, but I was told by two LR sales executives, that the Defender "should" be public by end of 2019, with customer deliverys commencing in the 2nd -3rd quarter of 2020.

Time will tell!

2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE

2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE
