No, Jags are made by the same people who have always made Jags; but Jaguar are owned by the same folk who made the Rover "City" thing.

Eh?

Edit. Oh. Sorry... As you were.

Are they?  Isn't Brown's Lane being wound down/already closed, in favour of Halewood, home of the commie-built Ford Escort?  Or is Halewood all about Freelanders now?  Or am I being a mushroom as usual?

One of the governments jobs is to promote UK goods and industry both here and overseas. Opting to punt about in a BMW rather than a Jag pisses on that quite a bit.

According to t'internet Brown's lane stopped making cars in 2005 when X350 production moved to Castle Bromwich, although it still makes components for JLR.

 

Halewood stopped making Jags when the X-Type ended.

 

Some Jags are going to be made at Land Rover in Solihull - which is apparently the first time they have made any non Land-Rover stuff there since the SD1.
