Last one out turn off the lights.

Stupid comment, as clearly that is not the case, Jaguar is a brand under JLR so even if it was to stop, it never made any money anyway so no impact to the main business

There has been a briefing scheduled for 4pm today to discuss what is happening with the employees 

I genuinely hope that it turns out ok for you and the company Mark. I worked for a vehicle manufacturer for just over 40 years and we had some scary times where our plant was going to close in favour of keeping our sister plant open, then we were going to be taken over several times etc. At the time I had young children and a mortgage, like many other employees, and it was a genuine worry.
As I’ve said before, I feel sorry for vehicle manufacturers being put in the impossible position of being forced to produce EV’s, when only a handful of people actually want one. I still have family working for the same company that I worked at and I worry how it’s going to end up.

The E Type & the MK2 are the only "proper" Jags in my opinion but  ....

what about the MKX/420G or the XK120/140/150  do they not count?  or even the earlier slim line XJ6s

You have your favourites & I have mine can't all be the same 👍

What is upsetting is that the new X900 is a pretty impressive bit of kit and full of the original Jag DNA.......lots of discussions at work, none positive.

Is that the EV one?  As I understand it, that's not going to be sold in the UK?

Hope all is well Mark, been on a similar situation recently (fortunately turned out ok) so I know it's no kind of fun.

On a lighter note, given their comments about who worked on the advert - I would hope they have a short list of around 800 names to work with

Sorry, Mark, missed this comment. I sincerely hope that everything is okay for you personally. I also hope that, whatever they have in store, they spell it out honestly. Folk can do without management bullshit at a time like this. Good luck, mate.

I would imagine that any offers that are made will be subject to a NDA 

[STEMO]

But you can tell us, we won't say anything 

[Marks DTM Calib]

No job concerns, it was purely to explain the marketing strategy, turns out the initial bit was to create shock and get people talking 

It certainly did that!

I have seen a red version of the new model and its a pretty impressive beast, not at all like the advert so far

Well, I am having my products certified for use in the UK.......I do know that the US is seen as a major market (hence the Miami reveal there)

Pretty sure the Kray twins owned one......or at least they did in the film.
