Jaguar car makers are to hire 800 more workers on top of the 1,000 new jobs created this year to handle record production.
Worldwide demand for the new XJ6 saloon s has led to 4,402 cars being made by the Coventry based company last month—well up on the previous best figure of 4,118 in December 1985.
And a record 47,000 cars will be made in 1987 by 13,000 workers compared to 14,000 by 7200 employees in 1978 when Sir John Egan took over as chairman.
