BREXIT CHAOS JLR PRODUCTION STAND-DOWN, STOCKPILING PARTS Kyle Hyatt RoadShow with Dane Wilden Classic Marque Jaguar Land Rover, alongside the rest of the British auto industry, has been in borderline panic mode with Brexit looming, and now it's looking like the iconic British marques will idle four factories for an additional week or more in April, according to a report published Sunday

by Motor1.

Above:

Jaguar Land Rover currently operates vehicle production facilities in Solihull, Castle Bromwich and Halewood and an engine assembly plant in Wolverhampton which it typically shuts down for a week in April.

This year that stoppage will be extended by at least a week.

Only its UK factories will be affected by the shutdown, but it's still a significant bump in the road for the car maker.

A series of emergency Brexit measures – including stockpiling and bringing forward temporary factory closures – are expected to impose extra costs on a highly competitive industry. For instance, Jaguar Land Rover, which owns multiple sites in the West Midlands, is stockpiling parts and Honda plans to halt production at its Swindon plant for six days after Brexit day on

Staff at Jaguar Land Rover’s Halewood site. Uncertainty regarding the UK’s plan to exit the European Union has British carmakers nervous; reports indicate that JLR have already begun stockpiling parts in case of a trade shut down.

29 March.

Other British automakers have resorted to drastic measures as well. Aston Martin has already enacted its No-Deal Brexit contingency plan while German -owned Bentley and RollsRoyce are reportedly considering moving production from the UK to continental Europe if things go totally pearshaped.

Lotus is newly flush with cash, courtesy of its primary investor Geely, but considering Lotus’ financial history, coupled with low yearly sales, a great deal of discomfit is rumoured to be growing in Norwich.

Jaguar Land Rover immediately respond request for comment.

didn't to a

Ed. UPDATE: Jaguar Land Rover released the following statement on January 24; “Today we have confirmed this year's holiday dates to employees across all sites. As part of this, we have also confirmed that there will be an additional week of production stand-down 8th - 12th April due to potential Brexit disruption.”

THE BOTTOM LINE The Guardian newspaper analyses the potential effects of a “no -deal” Brexit policy and discusses carmakers’ contingency plans to avoid a supply disaster.

A Memorial to Mike Hawthorn British Formula 1 World Champion Calum Brown Auto Classics John Michael ‘Mike’ Hawthorn shot to fame as the first British Formula 1 world champion back in 1958, clinching the title after a difficult racing season fraught with mechanical problems and infighting with Italian team-mate Luigi Musso. Hawthorn instantly announced his retirement from motorsport, badly marred by the deaths of Ferrari team-mate and close friend Peter Collins during the 1958 German Grand Prix and Stewart Lewis-Evans at the '58 Moroccan GP. Known for wearing a bow tie when behind the wheel and epitomising all elements of the gentleman racer’s cultural stereotype, Hawthorn was killed 60 years ago last month, crashing his comprehensivelymodified 1958 Jaguar saloon at high speed on Friday January 22, 1959.

Having left a National Sporting Club dinner held in his honour only 60 hours before, Hawthorn lost control of his 3.4-litre Jaguar MkI while driving on the A3 road near Guildford and perished in the resulting impact.

Colliding with a Bedford truck before mounting an embankment and broadsiding a roadside tree, the reigning World Champion – aged only 29 – suffered fatal head injuries and was propelled onto the rear seats. The force of contact was severe enough to uproot the tree almost entirely.

notoriously treacherous section of road already responsible for 15 accidents and two fatalities in the previous two years alone, although various theories have been put forward since the accident in regards to reason.

Overtaking in wet conditions, wit n e sse s cla im e d t h at Hawthorn passed a MercedesBenz 300SL Gullwing travelling in excess of 80mph. As it turned out, the Benz was driven by acquaintance and race team manager Rob Walker.

On entering a right-hand corner after overtaking the Mercedes, THE BOTTOM LINE Hawthorn’s Jaguar clipped a bollard dividing two carriageways and spun out of c o n t r o l . T h e i n e vi t a b l e speculation found media powerhouses broadcasting a consensus that the pair had been racing each other.

This notion was fuelled further

by Walker’s persistent refusal to estimate his speed at the time by a coroner’s inquest. The inquest returned a verdict of accidental death on January 26.

Many years later, further information from Walker came to light. During an interview in 1988, Walker confirmed that he and Hawthorn had been racing, but had been advised by investigative police officers to make no mention of this, or else he would incriminate himself.

Although mechanical failure was alluded to, an examination of the wreck found no obvious culpability on Jaguar’s behalf.

Mike had been associated with Jaguar for some time, owning at least one XK120 before racing for the marque at Le Mans.

60 years since the accident that rocked the motor racing world litre MkI during his tenure for the company. Upon Hawthorn’s retirement, he was permitted to continue using it thereafter.

The 806th right-hand drive 3.4 saloon produced, Jaguar has no record of alteration in the chassis record book, indicating that the car’s modifications were most likely undertaken without Jaguar’s approval.

A further belief is that Mike was suffering from blackouts, perhaps due to kidney failure.

He had already lost a kidney to infection in 1955 and evidence from the time suggests he started to suffer problems with the other. He was expected to live only three years beyond his F1 title win.

Although his death occurred a mere three months after retiring from public life, Hawthorn’s legacy – possibly enhanced by his tragic early death – continues to flourish with contemporary F1 events.

The Hawthorn Memorial Trophy has been awarded to the year’s most successful British or Commonwealth F1 driver since 1959. There is also a statue at Goodwood Circuit that commemorates Hawthorn’s achievement as the UK’s first F1 world champion.

Adelaide Motorfest Julian reported that the Club had a good display which generated a lot of interest, particularly in two XKs and the numerous E-types.

Club website Will be introduced to members early in 2019. Among other things the new system will make the Club data base more accessible to members and will reduce the demands on the time of Club voluntary officers.

2019 National Rally The 50th National Rally will be at Albury/Wodonga from 29 March to 1 April. ‘Book now’.

Register Business: As a result of general discussion about planning for the Border Run in October it was resolved that: Mount Gambier would be the base and Robin will follow up with the Barn as a p o s s i b l e , m a i n venue. Information from the Barn provided by Fiona Schultz was noted.

Mon 21, Tues 22 and Wed 23 would be the nights booked for accommodation on the basis that most people would arrive in

Mt Gambier on Monday and depart Thursday morning. We could offer the option of staying an extra night on Thurs 24th.

The previous week and the following week may also work as they avoid SA school and public holidays.

Robin will e-mail Roy Armfield, who is the contact for the Victorians, to advise of the above.

When we have agreement on dates we can organise various activities and make r e s e r v a t i o n s fo r accommodation.

Future Meetings: In January there will be no Register meeting. The February meeting will be at Ossie and Rayeena’s. Further info will be sent by e-mail and members will be asked to RSVP.

Multivalve Register’s Australia Day Lunch A big thank-you to Bill Browne and Margaret Piper for hosting the Multivalve Register Australia Day barbecue at their home on Hindmarsh Island – a great time was had by all, good food and good company!

The next meeting of the Register will be on Tuesday 26th March at the Cremorne Hotel on Unley Road. In view of the potential noise in the hotel after 7.00pm the meeting will begin at 6:00pm followed by dinner for those who wish to eat.

Judy Langdon confirmed that the run to Renmark over the October long weekend is a non-starter as all accommodation is booked out for two weddings. It was agreed to try for the weekend after Labour Day. Happy New Year to all members of the Club!

Next was a terrific little run up through the Barossa on Sunday the 13 th January, organised by Trevor Norley and Paul Moore. 65 people attended. The Caltex at Bolivar has never had so many Jaguars in at the one time. It looked fabulous. We took off and headed to a small hide a way of absolutely fabulous 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s memorabilia (unfortunately we could remember just about all of it!). It is called Lori’s Diner just out of Nuriootpa. It is well worth the visit and the morning tea was one of the best we can remember in a long time.

We then drove through the back hills of the Barossa before turning up to the Lord Lyndoch Restaurant for lunch.

Here’s a word of warning – if you have to go out that evening for dinner – don’t have lunch at the Lord Lyndoch first. The meals and the staff are to be congratulated and it is definitely one to put into your little black book.

Thanks again to Trevor and Paul.

The following Sunday was our annual Breakfast at the Birkenhead Tavern. We had 51 people show up for this very pleasant Sunday morning and is starting to become an excellent way to kick of the start to the Jaguar Year.

Looking forward to catching up with you all on the 5th of February at the Police Club.
