“As of 1st August, a comprehensive selection of new and used Jaguar vehicles can be purchased from the Donnelly Group in Dungannon, with test drives also available from the existing Land Rover showroom,” said managing director Dave Sheeran.

“This is a very exciting time for the Group as we move ever closer to the opening of the new Arch concept 50,000sqft Jaguar Land Rover showroom later this year.

“Donnelly Group’s partnership with Land Rover commenced in 1981 and we are excited to further develop that relationship by welcoming Jaguar on board.

“The showroom will reflect Jaguar Land Rover’s new corporate identity which is being rolled out across its global network and will see both Jaguar and Land Rover’s impressive ranges of vehicles sit together in one building.
