You're still wrong... Aluminium cost more then steel but, plain and
simple,they could not get enough steel as it's allocation was
controlled by the government. Had they used steel for the body, they
probably couldn't have produced enough Land Rovers to survive, never
mind to have created a lucrative export market for the vehicles. This
export market eventually allowed them access to more steel, which
allowed them to produce more Rover cars for the home market.
Regarding your next report, I'm looking forward to Chapter 7: Bare Midriffs.
