Updates with impact and details of cyber attack

LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Jaguar Land Rover said on Friday its manufacturing operations had returned to normal after a cyberattack forced a six-week halt at its UK plants, disrupting supply chains and costing the carmaker hundreds of millions of pounds.

        The British luxury carmaker, owned by India's Tata Motors TATM.NS, resumed production in October after a phased restart, following the shutdown of systems in early September to contain the incident.

Below are the key facts about the incident and its impacts:

Britain's economy barely expanded in the third quarter, held back in part by the cyberattack at JLR

JLR has three factories in Britain, which together produce about 1,000 cars per day

No evidence of customer data theft; some internal data affected

JLR reports Q2 cyberattack-related costs of 196 million pounds ($263.05 million)

Disruption hit JLR's sales in Q2, with wholesales down 24% year-on-year and retail sales falling 17%

The company introduced supplier financing measures to ease cashflow pressures during the stoppage

($1 = 0.7451 pounds)
