For the first time in its history, the iconic Land Rover brand is no longer exclusively 'Made in Britain' but now 'Made in China' too.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has opened its first factory in China and production of a Chinese-made Range Rover Evoque will begin within a few months.
The factory, in Changshu, north of Shanghai, is the consequence of a joint venture with Chinese automobile firm Chery.
Built over two years, the 40,000 square metre site represents a £1.9bn investment plan which JLR hopes will significantly increase its profits.
The opening came as the company acknowledged that its China sales growth this year was 20% up, compared to a 40% figure last year.
Company bosses attribute that to a slightly slower Chinese market and point out that sales in China remain strong.
The Evoque models built in China will not be available to export
Since the Range Rover Evoque was launched, one in five of the cars have been sold to Chinese customers.

The main investors are Chinese hence they seek cheap labour.
