Tata Jaguar

Categories: News | Vehicles | Luxury Cars
  • The Indian conglomerate Tata announced in late March, 2008, that it will purchase the Jaguar and Land Rover marques from Ford, for $2.3 billion. The deal comes after three months of negotiations on issues including pension plans and supply lines. The agreement keeps Ford involved in the Jaguar product line as the supplier of the cars' motors. Ford previously bought the British auto maker for $2.5 billion, in 1989. Ford has indicated that the sale is intended to help in its market struggles by allowing it better to focus on its own brands.
