At least Tata has some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s in the bank unlike Ford, also Tata are one of the biggest manufacturing conglomerates in the world - everyhthing from Steel making (they own Corus) to flipflop making (they own Bata shoes) and a host of things in between 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

A very good outcome for JLR indeed. As Tim has said, Tata are major world players, and very well funded. The alternatives were totally unacceptable. Mahindra did not want Jaguar and had to get propped up by Apollo who would have very soon divested themselves of Jag. One Equity, headed up by former Ford/BMW whizz kids had axes to grind and thought we were still in the early 1990's....What price acres of prime building land in Solihull and a labour-intensive Defender if they had been successful? Go figure. The unions would have preferred Ford to keep control, unwisely, but Ford are skint, period.
Tata is the best bet by far. The chickens have come home to roost! English gentlemen will covet an Indian luxury car as a sign of their wealth and taste, raising a glass, or cup, of Tetley's (Tata own THEM too!! LOL)

TB there are still loads of those City Rovers round these parts - they seem to be lasting really well, no rust on them and no fancy bits to ever go wrong! Must admit they all seem to be driven by the folks that used to buy the original square shaped Protons or won't buy a Honda Jazz or Civic because they are "Japanese" (they haven't forgotten the war and don't realise that Civics are built in Swindon) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I'm still surprised Ford haven't said ok we can save this sale if we can sell off one of the plants for housing and cut back on staff - maybe they will at the 11th hour Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

What's that white RRS doing with a ladder? All white offroader RRS - now there's a thought. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
