I don't work there but I did a VIP tour in May. It is an amazing facility! If you ever end up in London -- definitely worth going to visit yourself.

Try the other Forum JaguarForum.com - The World's # 1 Jaguar Car Forum

Mostly Brits on it and I had a fellow who worked at SVO who provided all sorts of good info about my car as it was being built.

Thanks malbec
Hadn't seen that one before. Ian's brother is the design director at Ford! And Unhingd gets a shoutout at 41:29.
Cool stuff...

I originally found the programme which had limited time to view. It was forumite Inspector-G who made it possible to watch and save.
Well noticed at 41:29

I don't work in the factory, but I do work in product development for JLR, so have a fair amount of contact with the F-Type, not to mention my own car

What did you want to know?

“a little Unhingd in the handling department”

I resemble that remark!
