Not surprised. Maybe Sir Anthony Bamford would prefer AML to Jaguar?

At least he'll be buying a company making money!

Indeed, and I think he's the right kind of bloke to own either, or even both. Wealthy industrialists with vision are what specialist premium marques need.

I think "exploring all options" was the phrase used.

In fact, every part of PAG and Ford Credit have been available for sale...

Depends who buys them :J: and how much investment into future development they will give.
They do have a good product line and good momentum, so don't see it being a huge problem.
Will the new buyer still throw money at Le Mans GT Racing? That's my only doubt, sadly

Rich hypothesised that Porsche could be a suitor yikes
Can you imagine that, and the subsequent postings on here hehe

Good point with the GT Racing, hadn't thought of that, I hope not, we need our hospitality next year !!
Mind you, with all the customer cars (DBR9/DBRS9), they would be cutting off their noses to spite their faces if they dropped it.

As for Rich's hypothesis, can you give him one of those comedy slaps around the back of the head from me next time you see him rofl
