Or that they need to free up space on the line where they currently build FFRR, RRS, Velar and Disco Idea

Could the Disco have not gone to Halewood then? Doesn't worry me either way, just curious?

Looking back at this, it’s not without precedent. When Fiat disposed of their elderly 124 production line, it was shipped off behind the then iron curtain and later, even Austin Rover had an unsuccessful attempt to ship the old Maestro line out to Bulgaria.

Perhaps disposing of the old D5 production line into Eastern Europe makes some kind of historical sense Whistle Laughing

They’re not moving a line out there, the line is staying in Solihull to build FFRR, RRS, Velar and F-Pace.

They’re building a new line in a new plant.

Fair point, it’s just the obsolete design that’s moving! Laughing
