Land Rover has come a long way from its hard times, thanks in part to the huge success that came with the Evoque. Yet its loyal customers never forgot the car that donated its platform so that people could buy a posh SUV designed by Victoria Beckham.
We are of course talking about the Freelander, the second generation of which first rolled off the line in October 2006. Now, almost six year later, the Halewood Land Rover plant has produced the 300,000th Freelander 2.
The landmark car came off the line as a Barolo Black 2.2-liter diesel, bought by a Brazilian customer.
"I'd like to congratulate the Halewood team for reaching this superb milestone and also sustaining the highest quality standards on Freelander 2, during the Range Rover Evoque launch period. Freelander was Land Rover's biggest selling model last year retailing around 52,000 units globally," said Halewood Operations Director Richard Else.
