Jaguar Land Rover has been hit by a 'cyber incident' that has crippled its manufacturing plants and delivery systems.
It says it took 'immediate action' when it became aware of the incident, shutting down systems on Monday - just as it would have been registering new 75 plate cars.
The company - which recently wound down building new Jags ahead of a switch to electric vehicles - sent staff home from the Halewood plant near Liverpool yesterday.
The plant, which produces models such as the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport, remains closed today, according to local media.
Alongside manufacturing, systems including the one used to register new cars are reported to have been crippled by the shutdown.
