Default Engine and transmission- where manufactured?

In what country are the following F Type drive-train components manufactured:
V8 engine
V6 engine
Manual transmission
Auto transmission (not sure how many versions there are)

All transmissions are ZF, presumably made in Germany.
I believe the engines are all made in England.

That's correct both the AJ126 (V6) abd the AJ133 (V) are produced in the Ford Bridgend plant in Wales until 2020.

And all auto F-Types have the same ZF 8HP70 gearbox although there is some suspicion the SVR and Project 7 may have the 8HP90.

Part numbers for the SVR and R trannies are identical. The 90 isn't needed until you get into Hellcat power territory.

Thanks all! One further question, now that we have established the V8 and V6 are built in the Ford Bridgend plant in Wales.
Are the V6 and V8 engines in the F Type Ford designs or Jaguar designs?

Jaguar AJ133 (V8) and AJ126 (V6) are both Jaguar designed engines, they're manufactured at Ford plant as Ford had owned Jaguar from 1992 until 2008.

When Ford sold JLR a contract was agreed with Ford to build Jaguar engines until 2020.
Since Jaguar opened their new engine manufacturing plant newer engines are built in house and the contract with Ford to manufacture engines may be ended earlier than planned.

If you examine engine ancillary parts carefully you will observe FoMoCo on a few such as coolant header tank and oil filter holder.

jaguar Land Rover have a "plant-within-a-plant" at Bridgend, which saved considerable investment costs by JLR. Staffed by workers dedicated to Jaguar production of the AJ-V8 engine, it includes a linked flow-line of computer numerically controlled machines with automated loading and assembly. Component supply is on a "just-in-time" basis. JLR will move the production of its engines to its new Wolverhampton plant by 2018

I suspect only the Ingeniums are being built there.

As per Youtube, the first Ingenium engine was produced in the Wolverhampton plant a year ago already.

Isn’t that the only place they’ve been built?

Since that is the plant Jaguar offers plant tours for on their website, I guess so...
