That was a bit unusual.
I like the part on the manufacturing of the New Defender in Slovakia and then they showed the manufacturing of the old Defender which I wasn't aware was built in Slovakia

Apart from the cover pic, it looks to me like the old stock footage from the Grenadier website, mixed in with footage of Wranglers and Defenders.

A lot of the prototype Grenadier build footage is seen before - but also some new stuff, esp. close-ups.

What a contrast with the "old" defender production, little use of robots and lots of hand building.

Thanks for sharing.

The video is useful in showing the front and read tow hooks and how they fit into the vehicle for future colour (color) adjustments if the red is not provided. What is interesting is that the red tow hooks in the video (at the time of filming, they are PT02 vehicles) did not relate to chassis colour. This may have been shown previously in other videos and in this forum, I don't recall that it has been, topical now as red seems to have gone.

What did also surprise me a bit was the size of the radiator and how low it extends, to the level of the front tow hooks.

I would caution anyone in drawing too many conclusions from this video, since the footage was initially published over a year ago, and many things would have changed since then.

Nice to see. Thanks for sharing!
I wasn’t aware that the vehicles have (the option) for automatic emergency calls. I thought Ineos wasn’t obliged to put in this „feature“

Another new video. Has the lady from 5th Gear and does a quick but nice history on the icons of four wheel drive. Also has JUE 477 - Sir Jim’s noteworthy first ever on-road-registered production Land Rover.

Good to see this republished, but worth pointing out it was originally published on the Ineos Grenadier YouTube channel 2 years ago.

I had never seen it before and when I search youtube for Ineos Grenadier I always sort by date posted. Like you said though, can't hurt that it's up there since other folks probably missed it too.

Had missed this too. And nice content the waiting time

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but I just saw this; looks like little lemmings in the water.
