ITV has learned that as many as four new models may come to Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant in Birmingham.

Today the company announced it was taking on 1,100 new people to build the XF Sportbrake - a new estate car.

But Tim Parker, from the union Unite, said four models could be built at the factory over the next five years.

Central Tonight understands that Jaguar Landrover is expected to announce that two new models are to be built at its plant in Birmingham.

It would mean production could hit more than 100,000 cars a year, saving the 2,000 jobs there, create another thousand and trigger investment of £200 million.

It's part of a deal agreed with the union.

The staff agreed a Saturday working deal, and in return, Jaguar's owners Tata said they'll bring new work to the plant. Our business correspondent Mark Gough reports.
