Import of Jaguar from USA

Jaguar is a British sports car and luxury vehicle brand of Jaguar Land Rover. Until 1 January 2013, Jaguar cars were produced by the British company Jaguar Cars Limited, whose operations were merged with those of Land Rover to form Jaguar Land Rover. Jaguar's business was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing bodies for passenger cars. Under the ownership of SS Cars, the business expanded to complete cars made in association with Standard Motor Company, many of which bore the Jaguar model name. The company's name was changed from SS Cars to Jaguar Cars in 1945. A merger with the British Motor Corporation followed in 1966, the resulting enlarged company was renamed as British Motor Holdings (BMH), which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became British Leyland, itself to be nationalised in 1975. Jaguar was spun off from British Leyland and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1984 until it was acquired by Ford in 1990. Since the late 1970s, Jaguar manufactured cars for the prime minister of the United Kingdom, the most recent prime ministerial car delivery being an XJ (X351) in May 2010. The company also held royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III. In 2000, Ford also bought Land Rover, and in 2008 it sold both Jaguar Cars and Land Rover to Tata Motors. Tata created Jaguar Land Rover as a subsidiary holding company. At the operating company level, Jaguar Cars was merged with Land Rover in 2013 to form Jaguar Land Rover, the single design, manufacturing, sales company and brand owner for both Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. Since the Ford ownership era, Jaguar and Land Rover have used joint design facilities in engineering centres at Whitley in Coventry and Gaydon in Warwickshire and Jaguar cars have been assembled in plants at Castle Bromwich and Solihull. On 15 February 2021, Jaguar Land Rover announced that all Jaguar-badged cars will be fully electric by 2025.
