Ford ready to sell Russian plants, says companies have shown interest

ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Ford Motor (NYSE:F) Co is ready to sell its idle Russian plants and sees interest from potential buyers, the carmaker's Europe chairman said in St. Petersburg on Friday.

The company had announced in March that its Russian joint venture Ford Sollers would close two assembly plants and an engine factory in Russia, exiting the country's passenger vehicle market.
