Green campaigners have been predicting the death of the so-called "Chelsea tractor" following a recent dip in sales. But the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) says it"s mostly registrations of the UK"s two most popular off-roaders that have suffered in the last year - because they"re both being relaunched. A spokesman said: "Rumours of the demise of the 4x4 have been greatly exaggerated. There were 10,000 fewer sales over the last year, nearly 5,000 of which were for the outgoing Land Rover Freelander, which has not been made since July. The new model only went on sale last week.
