BMW Acquires Rover In 1994, BMW acquired all of the Rover-related brands. But nothing in the auto manufacturing world stays simple, so more mergers ensued. You might sometimes read historical references to “Jaguar Land Rover.” That’s because in 1989, the American firm Ford acquired Jaguar Cars and then 11 years later purchased Land Rover from BMW. Ford unified the two brands as Jaguar Land Rover. It wasn’t meant to be though. In 2008, dear Land Rover again changed hands. The Tata Motors Buyout In 2008, Land Rover and its sibling and parent brand all found a home in the Indian company Tata Motors. The transcontinental company unified the brand, and motorists can once again count on reliability in design and performance. In its new home, the once independent Rover returned to its innovative roots.

Tata Motors is the biggest automobile manufacturing company in India. It owns Land Rover and Jaguar.
