The new Jaguar Jalfrezi!!

According to a report from UK newspaper “The Birmingham Post”, India’s Tata Motors will announce today the acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor Company. The report says that Ford has accepted Tata Motors’ £ 1 billion bid ($ 1.98 billion). An unnamed Land Rover source told the newspaper that the deal is as good as done and that negotiations are expected to be completed in the next six weeks before the sale is completed. Ford had bought Jaguar in 1989 for £1.6 billion and paid £1.7 billion for Land Rover in 2000.
The two companies were part of Ford’s “Premier Automotive Group” that also included Aston Martin and Volvo. However, Aston Martin was sold to a consortium led by Prodrive’s David Richards for 925 million USD back in March. We’ll have more on this breaking story as it evolves during the day.

Joking aside, let's hope that Tata (who are a massive company) can actually give Jaguar the financial boost it needs to get it back on track to be world leaders un the luxury saloon car market again as we seem to be pretty crap in the UK when it comes to keeping a good car alive!
