New Jaguar Dealer in Newport Beach

My Newport Beach daughter once unhappily drove to Santa Ana to acquire her new Jaguar, but now those days are over. Land Rover Newport Beach on Jamboree Road just west of San Joaquin Hills Road in Newport Center has become a Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover dealer.

There was a time when Orange County coastal residents could purchase or lease a new Jaguar at Newport Imports on Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, but that dealership closed in 1994.

Realizing that the Orange County coast is one of the nation’s strongest markets for Jaguars and Aston Martins, England’s Pendragon North America – which acquired Bauer Jaguar in Santa Ana in 2000 – has just enlarged its Land Rover Newport Beach showroom, acquired in 2003, to bring the luxury automobiles to the coast. Derbyshire, England’s Pendragon LLC is the largest automobile dealership in the United Kingdom.

The Land Rover building overlooking Jamboree Road, enlarged to 60,000 square feet and outfitted with prestigious interiors, was originally the site of Roy Carver Rolls Royce, then the largest Rolls Royce dealer in the nation. Rolls Royce automobiles are now available at Newport European Motorcars on Pacific Coast Highway.
