I wonder whether VW will cock it up like they did with the Rolls Royce purchase where they bought the Rolls Royce car company but the name and emblem was actually owned by Rolls Royce Aerospace - so they could build the cars but not call them Rolls Royce. VW then sold Rolls Royce to BMW for a 1/4 of what they had bought it for - but BMW had bought the rights to the name an emblem.

Hence why Rolls Royce is made by BMW and VW makes Bentley. 07MY RRS TDV6

And that (deleting the Evoque) is what makes me suspect this was an April Fools piece - the Evoque is still a huge income generator for JLR. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Hi Guys.

I know this is false "April fool's day trick" but got a good one for you.

If we have no deal with Brexit, that means no 39 billion devorse bill, not according to the Eu but anyway hear me out Thumbs Up we could then buy back JLR and still have 9 billion remaining to put towards what ever business, defenses, NHS etc Mr. Green

I know I'm bad putting Brexit in this Rolling Eyes Just a few giggles if the link was really true.

Probably opened a can of worms now Mr. Green

Yep totally agree on that too.

Would be lovely to have JLR actually being owned by the UK once again but that will never happen, one can only dream I suppose !
