The new Land Rover is due to be built in Wales. This is what it will mean for British manufacturing

The Independent  

Billionaire Sir James Ratcliffe is expected to announce in the next few days that his Land Rover successor, the Grenadier, will be built in Bridgend, Wales. Jaguar Land Rover has gone upmarket and built a softer and more expensive version of what became the Defender, which was launched last week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Sir James Dyson, he of vacuum fame, looks like being another if the new Dyson electric car lives up to expectations. The two Sir James’s, Ratcliffe and Dyson, are going for quite different slots in the motor market, for it looks as though the Grenadier will be priced at under £40,000 and the Dyson around £100,000.
