See my post here Forum post

A modern automotive production line will be capable of building multiple derivatives at the same time on the same track - given the myriad of of options and combinations there really wouldn't be any other way of doing it.

We are working lots of overtime including sats and suns, but we want the cars in perfect condition as you might expect, so please bear with us.

Obviously there will be teething problems with a new model build, but these are virtually all sorted. Production numbers are breaking records every week now and should be on full build capability very soon.

Hope you enjoy your new vehicles and would love to hear some feedback when people have had a delivery and a chance to drive them.

These are truly beautiful cars, I never get tired of seeing them. A seriously classy car, amazing styling and amazing quality, worth every penny if you ask me.

I would hazard a guess & say that a post with this much enthusiasm for a product that you work on is from someone a little higher than just a shop floor worker.

I agree the product is stunning & I am hooked on it & if the OP is a general shop floor worker then that is fantastic especially if his/her work colleages are of the same oppinion as that should reflect in even better quality of build!!

RE: Worker

To be fair I have been driving a Jaguar x type estate for 4 years now, topping 130000 miles. If I am right it was built in the same factory and I can't fault it or the build quality.

So despite various general remarks about LR build quality I am quite comfortable about the workmanship from Halewood.

RE: Worker

Hi Limey,

I'd like to say thanks for taking the time to come on here and post. The Evoque is the first British made car I've wanted to own since I bought another of Gerry McGovern's creations, the MGF, back in 1996. Both of the cars I've taken delivery off are extremely well built and a credit to you and your colleagues at Halewood.

A friend of mine collected his new Dynamic coupe last night which arrived on the date he was originally advised as promised so cars are coming through. He must have phoned me four times now to say how pleased he is with it and that he's delighted he decided to trade his 12 month old 520d BMW in against it.

On the basis of this small sample the car is doing exactly what it was designed to and bringing in new customers to the brand which is good news for the factory.

Arrived: Dynamic Si4 Coupe Firenze Red/Narvik Black
Arrived: Dynamic Plus Sd4 5 Door Fuji White
