One of the most sophisticated vehicles in the world, Jaguar Land Rover is produced by a British car manufacturer who is also known for producing for British prime ministers. Jaguar stands out from other manufacturers as it has produced a variety of successful classic cars. These were widely loved for its outstanding performance and classy interiors. It was initially sold to Ford Motor Company in 1989 and was later acquired by India based Tata Motors in 2008.

When does it all start? Its history goes back to the beginning of the ’20s by the Swallow Sidecar Company. What began as a motorcycle sidecar manufacturing company turned into a complete passenger car manufacturer. It was started by William Lyons and William Walmsley who are motorcycle enthusiasts. Thus, the company formed S.S. Cars Limited and in collaboration with Standard Motor Co, developed a complete car. In 1935, the first SS Jaguar was produced and it recorded a great sales success.

In order to retain the uniqueness and avoid confusion with any name, the company renamed to Jaguar Cars in 1945. However, the company hits its challenges and had to merge with the British Motor Corporation to enlarge the company. This further led to a change of name in 1966 to British Motor Holdings. Also, in 1968, a merger with Leyland Motor Corporation followed suit and it became British Leyland nationalized in 1975.

However, Jaguar became a separate corporation after it was floated on the stock exchange in 1984. This, however, was short-lived as the Ford purchased it in 1990 with Land Rover joining in 2000. More interesting, Tata Motors took possession of both Jaguar and Land Rover which lead to the creation of an affiliate company named Jaguar Land Rover Limited. A single entity, design, brand, manufacture; this is what Jaguar Land Rover is about. With the slogan, "Grace, Space, Pace", they have been setting a successful sales record especially the XK design. It was produced in 1996 and later redesigned 10 years later.

Overall, this brand has made a name with 3 Royal warrants, one from HRH The Prince of Wales. Moreover, it won't be fair if we never mentioned that Jaguar has a proud standing history of winning in the Le Mans 24 hours race both in 1951 and 1953.
