JAGUARS and electric vehicles are going on sale in Guiseley following a £4 million refurbishment of the Farnell Land Rover site.

Operations director Jatinder Aujla said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for the Farnell division, a name which has been inextricably linked with Land Rover in West Yorkshire since 1948 and is now becoming synonymous with the Jaguar Land Rover brand.”

Steve Whitaker, who oversees the site, said: “This is a fantastic endorsement of Farnell Guiseley and the new Jaguar cars look amazing in the redeveloped showroom.

“It will also enable us to showcase a range of electric vehicles from the plug-in Land Rover hybrid to the multiple award-winning Jaguar I-Pace.”

The Farnell Group was founded in 1882 by Albert Farnell as a shop selling pushbikes. He went on to stock the first motorised Rover pedal cycles and in 1904 built an ancestor of the first Rover car.

The Guiseley site was built in 1984 and the company’s head office relocated from Bradford.
