I see Tech Mahindra have taken over Pininfarina for about £122 Million. The Indians are keen on established businesses it would seem. Rolling Eyes

A friend of mine has been a close buddy of Tata since they were at school together in India. I once suggested he might be getting a new Range Rover or Jaguar. He replied "err... it doesn't work quite like that" Wink Laughing

I know the owner from a long while back. He has an interesting collection of older vehicles.There used to be some pictures of them on the web site.
