The first model to be built on Land Rover’s 70th birthday on 30 April 2018 was a Discovery Sport. It was made at the Land Rover Halewood plant in Merseyside. This vehicle will be used to support a number of projects in 2018, starting with a community resilience project in Scotland which will be announced in June.
