A bit worrying about how this might end up...good like the Aston sale? Or another bad owner?

I have a feeling that it would only be a couple of billion to buy Jag/Rover and maybe Volvo included. Look at Chrysler. It went for $7.4 Bln which is nothing, and it is a much larger company (sales, equipment, etc.) than Jag/Rover/Volvo.landrovered said:The problem is who can afford to buy Land Rover today. It is much more likely that a PE will buy them than a consortium of offroad enthusiasts that know what the core of Land Rover really is.
Look at the Chrysler buy out by the PE firm Cererbus.
But....if we all put in $20k each maybe we can be the first enthusiast owned car company!
