Jaguar Land Rover recently auctioned the 500,000th Range Rover Sport to be produced at its Solihull factory, raising £150,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Representatives from this charity, which was chosen by employees at the plant, joined operations director Alan Volkaerts and members of the production team to see the vehicle roll off the production line.
Mr Volkaerts said: “This is a very proud moment for the team, as we celebrate yet another significant production milestone for the Solihull plant. The Range Rover Sport continues to be a global success story, and I am delighted that the half-millionth car will help an incredible charity supporting families across the UK.”
Kate Collins, director of fundraising for the Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “The money raised could now fund 6,080 hours of specialist care from a Teenage Cancer Trust nurse, who will help us make sure that young people and their families don’t face cancer alone.”
