TATA BUYS JAGUAR

TATA management knows a bargain when they see one - their recent acquisition of Land-Rover and Jaguar was purchased at half the original price paid by Ford. Although, it may be that they haven't woken up to the smell of 21st century coffee.
The western world is moving quickly on from the days of super-charged beasts and farmyard tanks - the overblown cost of fuel, increased taxes on engine size and the threat of a congestion charge virus spreading outwards from Komrade Ken's Kapital is forcing most of the population to consider down-sizing their mode of transport - or even, in the most extreme situations, attempting to fit their over-sized rumps onto the uncomfortable, unyielding leather triangle of a bicycle seat (now there's an invention just waiting to happen).
It may eventually turn out that the only population willing to purchase either of these two iconic motors will be members of the billion-strong Asian Club who have to travel to work on dusty roads, keeping their distance from a bus with more people on the roof than inside, dodging horse-drawn two wheeler tongas, or being cut up at the junction by three-wheeler auto rickshaws.
Meanwhile, in Britain, the average Mr. Smith dreams of the day that the £1250 Nano arrives at our shores.
