Yeah, expanding so they can start producing larger numbers of superior coloured Land Rovers, i.e not black

The publicity shots were to show the colour mostly produced before the factory gets improved and does away with black Rolling with laughter LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Black is not a colour. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

I could never understand that at school. Surely if it isn't a colour, it wouldn't be there? Does that mean I have an invisible car??? Confused Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Yup! Have you not noticed how other road users behave as if it isn't there? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Indeed potential customers aren't put off and then once at the dealers (having not been put off) they then make a wise choice of choosing something other than black Laughing

Those who do choose black are wanted by the government for sectioning under the Consumer Protection From Black Cars Regulations 2012 Rolling with laughter LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

So many 4x4's in black now days, must be the most popular colour.
