Grenadier has to win this contract surely. Its literally a replacement for the old Defender! Half the ECU's the new Defender has. And made like a tank.
Also they have a proper pickup chassis already.
The UK made argument is as ruined as JLR's - both cars made in Europe with HQ in the UK.

Agreed. My money would be on grenadier...but I imagine JLR has a bigger clout with no10.

There are several other horses in the race remember.
I think the pickup based things are probably a bit big. The 6wd ranger is cool but can't see it being much use if the next big kick off is Europe. Probably great if we go back to the desert.
The babcock landcruiser must be up there as I would think they could beat the grenadier on production rates

LC gotta be most reliable 👍🏻 I've a feeling they may well win it ..they are "up there" already
