Drive Talking

THERE are definite signs that the world is driving out of recession and it seems a lot of countries are doing so in Land Rovers.

To start with the home market, UK sales for February 2010 were up 46.8 per cent versus February 2009. This is the sixth consecutive month of improvement for Land Rover demonstrating a stabilisation in the home market.

Land Rover also delivered a significant improvement in the majority of markets with a particularly strong performance in Europe and emerging markets:

For instance, sales in France are up 86.6 per cent, Netherlands up 46.8 per cent and Portugal up 155.6 per cent.

The European markets of Turkey and Switzerland also reported increases up approx 162.8 per cent and 59 per cent respectively. And to put the icing on the cake strong emerging markets performances were recorded by Brazil up 75.8 per cent, Korea up 87.5 per cent and China up almost 99 per cent.

Other overseas markets showing a significant increase year on year include South Africa up 165.4 per cent and Australia up approx 31.3 per cent.

North America sales for February were circa 2,212 - up approx 18.1 per cent versus February 2009.

It all goes to prove that you can't keep a Land Rover stuck in the mud – financial or otherwise - for very long.
