Made in Britain (BBC LPR plug)

Just watched a BBC 2 documentary on how Britain now pays its way by getting the balance right between manufacturing and services. Whilst looking at how Britain is now focused on manufacturing low volume high value products, it used LandRover as an example and whilst doing so it came from none other than our site sponsor Lookers Park Royal forecourt.

Well done James Thumbs Up MY13- TD4 XS Mauritius Blue, Privacy glass, Cold climate pack, Tailgate spoiler, Armrest pack, LED signature, Body side mouldings, Full size spare and finally Mudflaps

Nearest dealer to TVC/White City Media Village.
Also they used to service some BBC fleet LRs, I believe (when they were H R Owen, at least).

Coming from Glasgow, I did not know that LPR were so close to TVC. I never saw much of London when I picked up my car. It was Gatwick- M25-LPR then M1 and up the road. All I recognised of London was Wembley MY13- TD4 XS Mauritius Blue, Privacy glass, Cold climate pack, Tailgate spoiler, Armrest pack, LED signature, Body side mouldings, Full size spare and finally Mudflaps
