Umm... what are they calling the area formerly known as England, Airstrip One? The typical way for Britain to be subdivided is England, Wales, and Scotland, with those pesky Irishmen off the coast somewhere.

Jaguar has enjoyed a slow recovery and is on the verge of becoming profitable.What Jaguar should produce is a modernized version of the E-type: a beautiful, high-performance sports car (not luxury GT) for a reasonable price. Quit trying to compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes.

If Tata does buy these brands, they’ll get millions of dollars worth of upgraded technology that Ford poured in over the years.

Looks like the Empire is being taken over by the Colonies.

They brought it, they own it. Good for them.
Meanwhile the erstwhile owners pocket their profits and move on. That’s “Trade”, and it’s great for both sides.
Capital goes where it is treated best. Which right now is looking like Britain.

Interestingly, the Nash Metropolitan was made in England. A few are typically displayed at British car shows here in the States.

I have been predicting for years that, in the future, cars will be built in Asia. All cars. Period.
Some will be designed here. Many will be sold here. But the manufacturing will be done outside the reach of the Unions and the Government-Medical-Insurance Company complex.

6 cyl. Nash engines powered RR sedans for a time in the 1950s.

You are precisely correct. Steel, rubber, chemicals, etc are being devoured in Asia to make exportable products like cars to the US. Japanese trading companies like Marubeni and Mitsubishi are quite active in this biz.

No, I believe that one is “Bodacious Tatas” but, of course, I’ve only heard about it.

My aunt lives in Thompson Station near Spring Hill TN where the Saturn plant lives.
She lives in a neighborhood with 300-600K homes....not too shabby.
Her neighbors are 90% northerners who came down for the auto plant....most are assembly line workers....and a few mid level management.
Living in houses like that.
Tells you precisely why all our unionized manufacturing will be gone ....just like steel.
they are already laying off in waves

The Tatas are a Zoroastrian family whose ancestors fled Persia and settled in India
Jamsetji Tata: The founder of the Tata Group began with a textile mill in central India in the 1870s. His powerful vision inspired the steel and power industries in the country, set the foundation for technical education, and helped India leapfrog from backwardness to the ranks of industrialised nations.
Sir Dorab Tata: Through his endeavours in setting up Tata Steel and Tata Power, this elder son of Jamsetji Tata was instrumental in transforming his father's grand vision into reality. It was also under his leadership that the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, the premier charitable endowment of the Tatas, was created, propelling the Tata tradition of philanthropy.
Sir Ratan Tata: Jamsetji Tata's younger son had a personality that reflected his sensitivity to the struggles of ordinary people and his desire to utilise his considerable wealth to enhance the quality of public life. A philanthropist all his life, he created a trust fund for "the advancement of learning and for the relief of human suffering and other works of public utility". The Sir Ratan Tata Trust is today the second largest of the Tata trusts.
JRD Tata: The late chairman of the Tata Group pioneered civil aviation on the subcontinent in 1932 by launching the airline now known as Air India. That was the first of many path-breaking achievements that JRD, who guided the destiny of the Group for more than half a century, came to be remembered for.
Naval Tata: Naval Tata's myriad contributions in the fields of business, sports administration and labour relations symbolised all that is best in the Tata spirit of giving back to society and the communities in which its enterprises grow.

The Indians have been making Royal Infield motorcycles for about 20 years. More like 50.
