AboutJaguar Cars, Ltd. is an automobile manufacturer of luxury and executive cars operating under the Jaguar marque. The company's headquarters are in Coventry, England, where it was
founded by Sir William Lyons in 1922. It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, Ltd. since 2008, where it is operated as part of Jaguar Land Rover group.
Following several subsequent changes of ownership since the 1960s, Jaguar was listed on the London Stock Exchange and became a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index, which ended when
Ford acquired Jaguar in 1999. The company holds Royal Warrants from HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Charles.
