Which British luxury car brands did Tata Motors acquire from Ford in 2008?

Tata Motors acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008.

Jaguar is associated with luxury cars, while Land Rover is known for four-wheel-drive vehicles and SUVs. Ford had placed both marques within its Premier Automotive Group, but later decided to sell them as part of a broader restructuring.

India's Tata Motors announced the purchase in March 2008, and the transaction was completed in June. The deal included the Jaguar and Land Rover businesses, relevant plants, intellectual property, and other assets. The brands were later organized under Jaguar Land Rover, now commonly styled JLR. A common mix-up is attributing the deal to Tata Group generally; the direct automotive buyer was Tata Motors.
