Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Classic is accelerating its global expansion strategy with the opening of a brand new Classic Centre in Germany - the first facility of its kind outside the U.K. The new Classic Centre in Essen is directly operated by JLR Classic, providing factory service in Germany.

In addition the company is also introducing a service to support classic car enthusiasts seeking pre-owned JLR classic vehicles using the new 'Works Legends' online portal - www.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/workslegends. 

With a team headed by Dr. Ralf Klasen, Head of JLR Classic Germany, the new 4,500m² JLR Classic Centre Germany at Essen Kettwig follows the successful opening of JLR Classic Works in June 2017, offering owners and enthusiasts a wide range of authentic Jaguar and Land Rover classic cars, services, parts and experiences.

JLR Classic Director, Tim Hannig, said, "The opening of Classic Works in Coventry last year gave our team the opportunity to deliver world-class vehicle services to a rapidly increasing number of enthusiasts. As the most mature classic car market in Europe, Germany is the logical first step for the global expansion of JLR Classic. This new site gives us an excellent platform to cater for the needs of classic Jaguar and Land Rover owners on the continent."
