Tata, the mother company of the marques, looks at the positive side and still believes that Jaguar Land Rover will be profitable again in the future. Undeniably, cutbacks are scheduled to meet this goal, the Indian conglomerate will shutdown one among three assembly plants that construct the Jaguar and the Land Rover vehicles.

The time table for the closure should be completed by 2014 and the primary reason cited is to help the business recover and see some good news on their sales figures.

The factory to be closed has not been pinpointed yet but Tata is choosing between their Jaguar facility in Castle Bromwich or the Solihull plant which caters to the Land Rover production. The company is still reviewing all their numbers and an insider informed us that the top executives will have a final recommendation by the middle of 2010.

The Land Rover plant in Solihull employs about 5,000 people while the Jaguar factory in Castle Bromwich is the bread and butter of some 2,000 workers.

Eventually operations of the two plants will be integrated but job losses area inevitable. New jobs are expected though on their Halewood facility when the production of the Range Rover LRX 2012 model kicks off in 2011.

The show was traditionally held in Oakland but was moved to Pomona in 2003. Through the years, hot rods have never failed to please crowds and this year was the biggest ever—with the biggest crowd and highest number of entries.

Car enthusiasts trooped to the venue to see the AMBR or what it America’s Most Beautiful Roadster. The winner of this category is similar to winning the Nobel Prize or the gold medal in the Olympics for hot rods.

The list of cars is trimmed down. This year 700 cars were judged and only over a dozen competed for the honor of the AMBR.

The competition has always been stiff and all hot rod entries are note worthy.

Rou Brizio’s set up of the Ford Roadster installed with a V12 Ferrari engine had both brute force and understated elegance and everyone is all praise for the San Francisco auto jewel.Chuck Lombardo’s entry was an English inspired Jaguar V8 installed in an S- Type R.

Roger O’ Dell mixed some inspirations from different eras to highlight his 1935 Ford roadster.

The Willet’s roadster which won the AMBR was all beauty as it spiced up the car with inspirations from the 1950’s sports car. A 600 horsepower Viper engine powered the trophy winner.
