Car firm Ford has briefed politicians that it is planning to sell its British luxury car marques, Jaguar and Land Rover, the BBC has learned.
Ford, which has been cutting costs in a bid to offset declining sales, is expected to make an official announcement in the next few days.

BBC business editor Robert Peston said that the company had told MPs it was still some way from doing a deal.

Ford expects strong interest from private equity firms, he added.

Sorry, Landrover and luxury....? Maybe a Ranger, but the Disco, Freelander and Defender are hardly luxury vehicles, despite all the add-ons you can put in a Disco....

If Ford thinks they're luxury, maybe that's why the sales aren't too good! <think>

I think when thay are compared to other 4x4 they would be considered to be the luxury end of that segment...<think>

The Skoda Superb is a luxury car but it will never rival an S-Class...
