XK Factory Tour Castle Bromwich

Once again the XK8/XKR Enthusiasts Club took a group of 40 members to the Jaguar plant at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham, to watch the assembly of the new Jaguar XK. As with previous tours to the factory, members found the whole experience fascinating, being able to watch the car being built before our eyes.

The knowledgeable tour guides at the factory were able to answer all our questions and gave us a good insight into the building of the car. A highlight for today’s tour, was having a sneak preview of the new XKR model with its revised styling, having just come off the assembly line.
