The government's next fleet of ministerial vehicles will be made in Germany due to supply chain issues exacerbated by Brexit.
The Independent reports that the Metropolitan Police will be axing the armoured Jaguar XJs in exchange for Audi A8s - built in the German state of Baden-Württemberg - because no British car maker is “able to meet the requirements of the tender”.
Jaguar has manufactured British government ministerial cars for more than 30 years but its plants have had to halt production at various times over recent years due to difficulty obtaining parts.
