I was talking to one of my customers yesterday (he works in agriculture) and he's just bought himself a new 4WD pick up. I saw the brochures that he still had: Toyota, Mitsubishi and Isuzu; He'd chosen a Mitsubishi.
My neighbour is an agricultural contractor. He changed his Disco 2 for a Mitsubishi 5 years ago and is now looking at a Toyota.
My local Land Rover dealer (Roger Young, Saltash, Cornwall) has just taken on the Isuzu franchise to run alongside their Land Rover products.
I meet quite a few people is the same line of work in my business and I know of just one person who bought a new Defender.
This got me thinking....
Is anyone buying Freelanders new in any numbers? Are people here simply recycling the last 60 year's production, or has anyone bought theirs new? Have Land Rover surrendered this part of the new vehicle market? This is not meant to be antagonistic in anyway, I'd just like to know.
