Land Rover blocking Range Rover Evoque sales to ‘Dishonest’ buyers

Land Rover are blocking sales of the Range Rover Evoque in an effort to stem the flow of cars out of the UK from ‘dishonest’ buyers Over the last few days we’ve had a number of emails from disgruntled readers who’ve been unable to collect their new Range Rover Evoque from their dealer, despite their Evoque being with the dealer and being paid for in full. It transpires that Land Rover are trying to control the supply of the Evoque to businesses and individuals who may sell it on or export it, but their weapon of choice seems to be a bit blunt.

Here's why: On Sunday, before the final 2012 Formula One championship race, Infiniti announced it would be the title sponsor of Red Bull Racing going forward into 2013. That in itself is a great coup for the luxury car maker.
