Many clients who have been visiting our Jaguar service facility have expressed an interest in the new Jaguar range, particularly the all-new 2.0 and 3.0 petrol engine 8 speed auto variants. I am confident we will soon see many of these new Jaguar models on the road in Brunei for the first time. Looking at the fantastic range of vehicles from Land Rover, such as the Evoque, All-New Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, we are confident that we will also be able to grow the Land Rover business in Brunei.
