Oh Blue, you and I both know deep down inside that this car company is failing, trying to get loans to stay afloat, not worth anything. How could they possibly build a truck like that. Your going to give poor dickohasbeen a damn aneurysm. Cut it out.

And limit it to 1970 examples which will more than likely sell out in a NY minute.

Some folks forget the rest of the world.

And had a nice smile after reading your post. 😁

They stopped production due to covid. I would worry if they made shitty cars like Suzuki and the reason they don't sell them is cause nobody wants them. JLR doesn't seem to have that problem

I have customers who collect them. Had a guy refuse delivery after going over it with a paint thickness gauge and found every imperfection in the paint. And he was right about all of it. But I'm not 100% what lines got shut down all together, but I know some did.

My how times and expectations have changed over the years. Not a collector yet a RRC enthusiast. ECR redid mine in the original color including the jambs all around and there are of course still thin areas. I guess it all depends on what you want. If a collector, this is how it was manufactured in that time period.
I’m looking forward to seeing some of the 1970 examples.

It's a specially optioned car. I couldn't care less. I would care more to see a car built in 1970.

That blue color on new car screams gay brit.
