Looks like JLR are already owners of AM, if the costs of the new cars are anything to go by Rolling Eyes Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

AM are owned by Pro Drive and have recently made their first profit for years, Pro Drive are linked to Red Bull F1 and AM are a sponsor or supplier as their badge is on the side of the RB car. Pro drive are looking o be an engine supplier to F1 in 2020 providing the new engines fits with AM marketing and will be badged as AM engines, so I think JLR won't buy them perhaps Lotus would be a better bet and revamp Riley or Wolsey as a small car maker with a decent tradition and reputation as BMW killed Rover except for the 75 which was one of the best BMW's BMW never made. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Not quite right as Pro Drive didn't put any money into the deal. It's actually owned by two Investment companies:-

A NEW CHAPTER IN THE COMPANY'S ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY WAS WRITTEN IN MARCH 2007, AS ASTON MARTIN WAS SOLD TO A CONSORTIUM OF TWO MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT HOUSES, INVESTMENT DAR AND ADEEM INVESTMENT. THE CONSORTIUM WAS LED BY CHAIRMAN DAVID RICHARDS AND DR ULRICH BEZ CONTINUED TO LEAD THE MANAGEMENT TEAM INTO THIS NEW ERA OF INDEPENDENT OWNERSHIP AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

it has an old style farmyard attraction, Land Rovers of old being synonymous with farms . . . . . . Aston Martins finest DB days were when (DB) David Brown tractors owned them Rolling with laughter

I like the way that the headline isnt troubled by Ralf Speths outright denial in the article!

Hope it isn't true - I really like the way Aston Martin is going these days but increasingly dislike the way JLR heading.

Has no one else watched the video when Dr Ralph clearly states this isn't happening?

I'm not sure what is going on with the Convetry Telegraph, a lot of what they are posting regarding JLR is complete fantasy.

I feel like they have a new intern in the office. . .
