Well, that's novel!
 

Just heard on the news this morning that Jaguar-Land Rover are creating a load of new jobs in Solihull to manufacture a new range of Jags...

....made from aluminium! +++

Innovative idea, don't you think?

At least it might stop them rotting as quick!!

Great idea tho......wish i had a car that didnt rust......id maybe plan on keeping it a loooonnnngggg time ;)

I heard the clip and thought much the same. Its good to see that the tie up between Land Rover and Jag provides some exchange of ideas!! What will they think of next for Jag SUVs? permanent 4-wheel drive? :rolleyes:

The XJ saloon has been made of aluminium for 10 years (X350 in 2004) - remember going to a demo with the fire brigade attempting to cut the roof off an XJ-R and struggling with standard jaws that will go through steel like a knife through butter! Aluminium crushes rather than splits so often takes 3 or 4 cuts to get through an A pillar
