London: Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is reportedly examining a bid worth millions of pounds to buy Britain's Formula One Grand Prix track, according to a media report.

The luxury car maker has prepared its bid for Silverstone - one of the UK's best known racing circuits, according to documents seen by 'The Financial Times'.

JLR is believed to have asked property consultant Cushman & Wakefield to draw up a valuation for the Northamptonshire track in the East Midlands region of England in July.

Under the terms being considered, Silverstone would become JLR's home and would include a "heritage centre" to display the company's fleet of cars, offices for up to 1,000 staff and a hotel and visitor centre, the newspaper reports.

Cushman & Wakefield advised the company that the market value for the circuit, industrial units and land for potential development would be 22.7 million pounds. It is understood that negotiations are in very early stages with no certainty that an agreement could be reached.
