Tata for now...

So Ford have finally sold Jaguar and Land Rover to the Indian firm Tata. Although there have been some assurances that in the short to medium term production will remain in this country, I think most people expect this to be the beginning of the end of any remaining pretence of a British car industry. The writing's been on the wall for decades now, and the seeds of self-destruction were sown back in the 70's by "Red Robbo" and his mates - although to be fair, there were inherent problems well before that. Sad - particularly here in the West Mids - but inevitable, I fear.
