Solihull Plant

Consumer Discretionary

The Solihull plant is the car factory in the West Midlands town of Solihull where the Rover P6 saloon was built by Rover and then British Leyland from 1963 to 1977. When the production line of the Rover SD1 was moved to the former Morris plant at Cowley in 1981, the plant was turned over to Land Rover models, and its large extension, built for the SD1 and the Triumph TR7, was mothballed until it was brought back into use in 1997 for the Land Rover Freelander and in 2016 for the Jaguar XE and F-Pace.
