DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is selling its storied Jaguar and Land Rover brands to India’s Tata Motors Ltd. in a deal that will net the U.S. automaker $1.7 billion — roughly a third of the price it paid for the two luxury brands.

The agreement had been in the works for months as cash-strapped Ford sought money to fund its turnaround plan.
