Description:
Just got back from a tour of the factory in Solihull. Definitely recommended for any LR fan! It lasted 3 hours and we got to see almost every step of the manufacturing process from sheet metal stamping to final assembly. Got to see the RR, RR Sport, LR4, and Defenders being built. Nothing like seeing an awesome Defender roll off the line knowing that it ISN'T going to the States. The humanity!

Some of the cars on display at the Experience Center (or Centre if you're British). Gotta love the Defender with the snowmobile treads!

Our tour guide said that this is one of four Defenders built solely for driving people around the LR facility. It's a 130-Safari-spec with room for 12. Yes, 12. And it's limited to a speed of..wait for it...20 mph. Brisk.
