Aren't they headed up by a Russian ( like Chelsea FC) - but they are still based in Blackpool

Just seen Dave Castle's post - at least someone agrees with me :rolleyes:

That's typical.

 

First the Yanks go off with the Range Rover, the Germans grab the Mini, now the Russkis want the MG marque. Like a bunch of vultures. Still, that's the real "British Motor Heritage" for you.

 

Ever been to Gaydon? Depressing place.

I beg to differ with the Noble figure, we supply the steering to them and sold the 295 steering gear last year, bit less this year so far but interstingly enough they are taking more LHD than RHD at the moment.

Gaydon is now owned by Ford, that's why you are seeing less and less Austins and bmc cars and more Land Rovers and Astin Martins!
