with Land Rover and to be helping them inject their brand values of cutting-edge design
and durability into the mobile phone market. We're confident the new range of products
will perfectly encapsulate everything that Land Rover represents, appealing to those who
already love the brand and providing an introduction to those who are yet to discover it."
The portfolio is now under development by Bullitt Group, working directly with Jaguar
Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations Group. The Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle
Operations team are responsible for designing and engineering high specification vehicles,
bespoke commissions and heritage products. The team will be applying its award-winning
work and expertise to the forthcoming range to ensure that Land Rover's world-renowned
