Why when LR is a British company, do the majority of promotional pictures and video's feature left hand drive cars ?

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I asked that at a factory visit and the answer was lame.............. "Because it makes for a better interior view." My retort was "then why not just open the passenger door of a UK model?" To which there was no reply! Mr. Green

Basis that photo I could be seriously tempted into a Plug In Hybrid or fully electric version of that, but it will be interesting to see the side view before I commit to anything............ but will be phoning the Jaguar dealership where I registered interest to say "no longer interested in iPace until I have seen the Velar, remove my details and can I have my deposit back please?" 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I guess they sell a lot more LHD cars Thumbs Up In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Perhaps the majority are sold LHD markets? I bet the US buyer expects to see LHD, for example. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

It's poor marketing, it's not hard to flip the image and photoshop the badges.

To me it says that they have no interest in British markets as they make more money elsewhere.

England 

90% of LRs are exported so LHD is biggest market

I think I saw one of these yesterday round Oxford with swirly camouflage - going to check dashcam and see if anything worth viewing Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!
