Post by: nopanic - neil on August 24, 2007, 05:53:22 pm
Just heard on the Radio5, Tata (indian co) are looking to buy Jag & Landie.
Tata had broughtBritish Steel Corus,so they access to plenty of steel.
The only thing worries me is, I can remember the Tata cars of the past.
Not sure who else is in the frame to buy them

There's still quite a number of these old girls earning their keep on the tea plantations of India and Malaysia.

The problem is I remember the cars in the late 90's,

As for a company, all I know is they are huge, a finger in many pies, which is good for financial support/strength.
In fact I bet everyone has brought and used one of their products, as one of the companies they own is Tetley tea. (http://www.yowiemaggi.com/tea/images/gaffer.gif)
Time will tell, but I hope if they do buy them, they see its the right market and have the cash to get them back into motor racing (Le Mans 2009?)

I guess I'm not bothered who buys em as long as they still make them to go nice and rusty- rustier the better for me!
