2011 Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Auto Firenze Red

I was told 14 hours from start to finish, by the salesman so it could well be wrong SD4 Sport LE Firenze Red - no options or modifications yet, but it's early days.

2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Indus Silver

Just under 7 hours to build a D3 from scratch, so I'm guessing a bit less than that. ______________________

It was but the answer was never found, it changed and ended up how long it took to build a Quashqui, or whatever it is called.

It dosen't matter how many come off the line every hour as the relevance is in how long the line is to start with.

And the line speed!!

In reality does the OP want to know how long it takes to assemble a complete car from the welding of the panels through to paint and then as it goes through trim and final sign off or just from a painted shell being put on a final assembly line?

Doesnt really matter, it still takes 3 months to get to the dealers. I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt.
