Well that was a surprise to me this morning, Landrover and Jaguar being sold off by Ford.

Any ideas on takers??

We could start a fund to buy Land Rover - I guess they`ll take less than the 1.7 Billion Pounds they paid - I`ll put a tenner in! Don`t drive faster than your angel can fly!

RRSport.co.uk members have already started a group buy! We'll let you have Jaguar for a couple of Billion £'s How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
Now driving - RRE Coupe Dynamic Lux Auto with Plus pack, Fuji White, Ebony, SD4 with tow pack
Gone - 2010MY FFRR TDv8 Stornoway and Ivory, Privacy - the pace of a TDv8 RRS, the incomparable grace of a Range Rover
Gone but will be missed- RRS Tdv8 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather
Gone (only a little missed) RRS Tdv6 2.7SE Giverny Green/Aspen
Defender 90 County HT in Epsom Green

Show some sympathy for us workers!

I've worked under the leadership of Honda, BMW, Ford and now....who knows?

Tony His - BMW 116i SE - love it! BMW 118i SE on order!

Hers - Merc A150 Avantgarde - hate it!, want to change this for a NEW FREELANDER ASAP! providing my local LR dealer can actually be bothered to get back to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May look elsewhere..............!

If any of the recent car company sales are anything to go by, we could soon be driving around in Landroverski's

Don't worry, I see Jon Moulton's Alchemy Group is in the bidding, so Land Rover can look forward to the safe and secure future that Alchemy provided for MG Rover....

Tim in Scotland:
I join the party - who will take leadership?

Yamaha-Fan

Looks like this will be my first and last Land Rover, can only choose Ford group cars on my scheme... been nice knowing y'all .....

Hope it will be the VAG group, VW have the tiguan and Audi have the Q7 now and future Q3 & Q5 so may fit with their plans. More likely PSA group as Ford and PSA currently share engines so there would be less on cost to maintain the current engine ranges.

My car is a MK5 golf GTi and they are a well built, reliable car with a fantastic power train, that just sounds and goes so well.

I can't understand Ford, I thought LR was the most profitable arm of the organisation with military vehicles, good new products etc, I know Jaguar are suffering so can understand that but not LR?? I thought Volvo may have been first but assume that they are trying to model VAG with their VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat brands where components are shared across the range therefore making them more profitable.

I think, that the British government should buy Land Rover and Jaguar from company Ford.
Land Rover and Jaguar are national property of the Great Britain.
