sedans and estates between 2001 and 2009. In 2006, Jaguar added production of the Freelander to the factory. The Evoque was added in July 2011. Since then, it has built 255,186 of them.

Cancer Research UK plans to auction the Evoque for charity in 2014.

“We are incredibly grateful to Jaguar Land Rover for thinking of us and making such a generous gift. Cancer Research UK receives no government funding for its life-saving research, so every step we make towards beating cancer relies on every pound donated,” said Simon O’Leary, Head of Volunteer Fundraising at Cancer Research UK.

Halewood started as a Ford factory in 1962, and Jaguar bought it in 2000.
