Owned by a Luxembourg Capital venture group Genii?
Oxford based yes but running Renault engines... Still a great result for comparative minnows in the sport.

They did indeed.
And as strange as it sounds, I tend to think that being under Tata ownership is a good thing for Jaguar, because they have vowed to let it run as a separate company with autonomy of design.
It would still be good to see it back under British ownership though.
