Ford sells Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata for 1.7 billion
The sale transfers Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford to Tata Motors, a move seen as Ford exiting two luxury lines it admits were missteps. Ford, led by Alan Mulally, will reinvest proceeds into core brands after a 12.6 billion loss in 2006 dropping to 2.7 billion last year. Jaguar and Land Rover, iconic since 1922 and 1948 respectively, carry glamour while masking survival struggles. Mulally is credited with steering Ford toward profitability and focusing on quality product development.
