Ford has no plans to sell Jaguar, but that could change, The Associated Press reported, citing Lewis Booth, chairman of Ford of Europe and vice president of the company's Premier Automotive Group.
Lewis told industry analysts in a webcast from Paris that Jaguar's status could change as the company goes through a strategic review of all its assets.
ââ¬ÅIt's not for sale at the moment,ââ¬Â Booth said. ââ¬ÅIf that changes we'll come back to you...everything's on the table.ââ¬Â
His remarks are consistent with previous Ford statements on the possible sale of Jaguar and its other Premier Automotive Group brands, Volvo, Land Rover and Aston-Martin, the story said.
The beleaguered company announced in August that it had placed the Aston-Martin specialty sports car brand up for sale, although no buyer has yet surfaced.
