Jaguar designed and produced the V8 engines -- also supplied to Land Rover for the RR.

Jaguar's engine plant is at Bridgend in Wales, from Wiki...
"Jaguar engine plant

Jaguar Land Rover have a "plant-within-a-plant" at Bridgend, which saved considerable investment costs by JLR. Staffed by workers dedicated to Jaguar production of the AJ-V8 engine, it includes a linked flow-line of computer numerically controlled machines with automated loading and assembly. Component supply is on a "just-in-time" basis".

Hope that answers your question...
