"We've been delighted with the level of interest shown in the new Freelander 2. Not only have visitors been making a bee-line to our stand to see the car in the metal for the first time but we've had thousands of people asking for more details about it. We are confident many of those inquiries will turn into sales. It's been a really successful show for us," said Andy Griffiths, UK Marketing Director of Land Rover.
