Jaguar has been British-built since 1935 and Indian-owned since 2008, having previously belonged to British Leyland and then Ford. Its E-Type was described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car ever made, and the marque is now moving to electric only.
Tata Motors acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford for about $2.3 billion in cash. Ford had paid roughly $2.5 billion for Jaguar in 1989 and $2.7 billion for Land Rover in 2000, so it sold both together for less than it had paid for either.
