Room for improvemen­t?

-

Further to your ‘JLR Special Vehicle Operations division versus the aftermarke­t’ article in the 16 August issue, I’d like to see an aftermarke­t tuner come up with an alternativ­e replacemen­t tailgate for the new Land Rover Discovery that [design boss] Gerry Mcgovern and his team have, in my opinion, monumental­ly screwed up.

I can see what they were trying to do – echoing the previous generation­s with their offset square numberplat­e – but the latest iteration is simply wrong.

So, I’m sorry, Gerry – you can’t be right all the time. I think you should be flattered that there are companies out there whose businesses and jobs are built around your products. John Penfound Andover
