Where is that Barollo?

Beadles of Sidcup in Kent told me last Saturday that there were a few more cars being built but all SE & SE Tech & they as in Beadles were having these cars and were the last of the last.
I asked someone else why there were not more Metropolis cars been built & I was told LR bought all the remaining trim from the suppliers & whatever they had they built so the reason there are no more Metropolis models coming off is because there is no more trim (presumably the Windsor leather) as most of the rest is the same. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

If there is "no more trim" does that mean no spares available? OK you don't often need things like leather trim, but it might be required after an accident, or if there is some warranty-covered failure (as we have seen previously with seat covers). Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Things like Seats/Dashboards etc etc are not made by LR, they are shipped in from other company's in the supply chain. For example, Lear of Coventry make all the seats for Jaguar XJ and RR Evoque, this includes the leather trimming. Invariably, there will be a supply of "spares" covering just about every bit of trim for many years to come, it's just that JLR have probably told the supplier some months ago, only supply X amount of Almond trimmed seats based against a sales forecast. Nothing to get worried about, that's for sure. Foraging near Gaydon....

We make chasis parts for Freelander 2 and shipped some of the final run parts today, so unless they are going for spares it looks like they are still building new cars.
