I’m still none the wiser as to who the target market actually is.
I don’t think Jaguar actually know who the target market is although they mentioned previously that they were after some of Bentley’s customers. I think they might struggle to achieve that going off their prototype.
No wonder the CEO walked.

If you’re thinking of the same company that I am, they account for a smaller percentage of their manufacturing. Or at least they did when I worked for them. Not saying they still aren’t reliant though.
If I’m thinking the same company they have a whole unit dedicated to JLR and is a large percentage of their output I believe several job losses have already taken place at very short notice

There’s an overflow car park on Lomeshaye in Nelson specifically for repair/warranty repair of LR’s…. It’s well away from the main dealers, obviously. It’s jam packed to the rafters.
I owned a freelander 2 (yeah, not a “real” landrover for the brand snobs) but by far the best car landrover have made in the last 20 years…

Is that the one where the workshop is?

No issues with our Defender 110 so far. Feared it would be thirsty than it is too. Guess it will not be cheap if/when something goes wrong.
Although it was as not bought from Lomeshaye, whenever we have asked them a question the stafff have been excellent.

Go woke, go broke.
Simple.
They've also had a massive data breach which will affect simply chain for months apparently.
Oh well!

Think around 40 job losses (so far) at BCW because of this.

Unsure if there’s a workshop there. Far too many registered vehicles imho. Seeing that amount just sat there waiting is enough to put me off…

Down by L.E.D. ? If so yes, it's where the workshop is and I agree that there are far too many vehicles sat waiting to be looked at. Unfortunately I had to go there several times with one of our cars

Yes, that’s the place. It’s bloody rammed with vehicles. Hardly a glowing reference….
