Hi
Yep the mail article (see below) rings true. As a senior staff rep we covered the debacle. I wrote a short book on it.
Jaguar was in a mess run by Robinson he tried to run it on a democratic style. Proved a disaster.
I first met John Egan he was head of Sales and Service at Cowley. He gave us their new organisations etc.
The Jaguar organisation was in collapse rumours of Jaguars moving to Solihull Yep castle from go close which it did.
Robinson was sacked with a few more. John Egan came in saved the plants a hero.
Strangely some Jags are built at Solihull and some Land Rovers are built at Jaguar Hailwood.
Small world
