With the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover about to be announced, it would seem that the favourite bidder would be the TATA Group, best known for the rugged trucks, but soon to known as the company that makes some of the UK’s most desired cars, or so the chairman Ratan Tata will tell you.
But if you are worried that some of the UK’s automotive heritage is going to moved lock, stock and barrel over to India. Yet as what will happen with the companies is unknown, yet we cannot see the whole production being taken over to India nor can we? Labour and everything else is so much cheaper over there.
But to put things into perspective, the Ratan Tata has confirmed that if his company gets the deal then he is very interested in the proposed “F” type Jaguar which is a sort of retro looking Jaguar that will take many people back to the sixties in style but will in fact be a highly technical machine that could be a possible rival to Porsche.
But at the moment we can only wait and see what Ford announces and only them we get a clearer picture on the way that the two makes and new models are going in the future.
