AND
If our Marques were so poor and image so bad then why were they were bought by BMW, Ford, Tata, etc etc and made popular throughout the world? If it were as bad as you were making out that would have been impossible no?
Not just Standing by while Rome is burning, but adding fuel to the flames, that's the Thatcher legacy.
PS. Car of the Year 1977- Rover 3500
BL were hived off to Honda originally, that didn't last long.
Is it just co-incidental that BMW bought Land Rover, brought out the X5 (their first 4WD) then got shot of it?
Ford bought Jaguar to widen their sales appeal to the luxury car buyer (think Lincoln or Lexus)
Tata, only a developing nation whose automotive industry survives on 1950s cars thought it was an improvement
P.S. Some Cars of the Year turned out to have been pants in the long run. But I do like the SD1, the engine was a cracker too, introduced second hand in 1963 and still going strong into this century.Comment
