Ford sells Jaguar & Land Rover to TATA
Posted by: delusional in Automotive, Economy, News
Ford has sold the Land Rover and Jaguar marques to Indian company TATA for what seems like a paltry £1.15bn.
Jag and Land Rover represent 16,000 British jobs in Solihull and Castle Bromwich in the West Midlands and on Merseyside.
While no immediate changes are planned by TATA to the British workforce, no direct assurances are given about the future safety of jobs (at least not publicly).
TATA famously introduced the ‘worlds cheapest production car’ recently. They will now preside over the manufacture of some of the world’s most expensive cars.

They`ve got to be flipped!! 2 great manufacturers sold to a third world junk heap dealer for a pittance! Literally! This is further proof that the public is conserving their gas tanks at alarming rates. The saddest of losses for all.
