Land Rover Celebrates Best-Ever Month For Sales

UK Land Rover sales in September are expected to be close to 10,000 units, the highest ever recorded in a month and easily overtaking the 9,328 registrations in the previous best September 2005.

With year-to-date registrations in the UK and globally hitting new targets the company is on course for a record profit for parent Ford, which has been considering the 4×4 company’s sale along with Jaguar. The likelihood of a sale will be confirmed by the end of the year.

Whatever happens, Land Rover is brimming with confidence on the back of soaring sales of its Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Freelander2, Discovery and Defender series. The introduction of state-of-art diesels has powered the recovery and spread the sales to new markets around the world.

“We had record sales last year and the year before that and our sales this year are already a record. It is just fantastic for us,” said LR director of communications Simon Warr.

Sales are currently 13% up after eight months and after three weeks of 57-plate sales they are still climbing in the UK. Indications, which have still to be confirmed, suggest the September total will pass the previous best by a good few thousand registrations.
