BMW does have a higher stake in the British car industry with Rolls Royce and Mini, but Audi do own Bentley as well… I guess the range rovers aren’t highly armoured enough for his security detail. The German limousines meet higher ballistic protocols than the range rovers

The only cars that are armoured by the actual manufacturers are BMW, Audi and and Mercedes, so all vehicles that need to be armoured are going to be german in the future, otherwise you would need a non british independent company making a few custom vehicles, which would be way, way more expensive

Sadly there is currently no factory-armoured car produced by the UK car manufacturers. Jaguar no longer builds the XJ Sentinel, and Land Rover does not manufacture a new version of what used to be the Range Rover Sentinel (the backup / security car you can see in the video). The only current-generation armoured vehicles by an OEM are the Mercedes S680 Guard (VR10), Audi A8L Security (VR9/10), BMW i7/7-series Protection (VR9/10 electric or ICE) and the BMW X5 Protection (VR6). Most third party armouring companies do not match the overall quality of the OEMs with their included independent certification and production testing. Possibly the only such companies that can produce an OEM-quality armoured vehicle are Welp-Armouring (Germany) or Carat Duchatelet (Belgium), which both are suppliers to the big OEMs. In summary, having a suitable armoured British vehicle would require custom development involving a non-British supplier. A lot of work at a high cost just for show.
