I agree, seems the biritsh only do well in building houses, office spaces or restaurants and fried chicken shops. Manufacturing in the UK is dead.
Both of you grow up, get better informed or move country. The UK is the 6th largest manufacturing country in the world....fact. It is twits like you and Clarkson who continue with these myths. Get out there and support our industries.richb77 said:

When you say 6th largest manufacturing country in the world, do you mean of cars? Genuine question. I haven't looked on google but thought you'd be able to answer that for me... M666 EVO said:

That's the spirit, because they are no huge incredibly successful multi-national British businesses...
Who honestly here would put their own money on Spyker being around in 12 months? Not me......

dont get too excited.
valdimir antonov, majority shareholder in spyker is selling to cpp, whose majority shareholder is vladimir antonov. just a money shuffle, nothing more.
That does put a 'slightly' different angle on the story. Sort of information that would have made the article more about a rich Russian relocating a small sports car manufacturer to another county. valdimir antonov, majority shareholder in spyker is selling to cpp, whose majority shareholder is vladimir antonov. just a money shuffle, nothing more.
Putting it like that though would have brought on a bout of post traumatic stress disorder for the TVR guys.

Not just cars but all manufacturing (excluding mining) in order:

Fair point. But you can also see the other guys point, TVR, most of the British motor companies of the 70s & 80s, all gone t*ts up. I am with you, I am in the positive camp and reckon it'll be a huge success, but I can't help having (2%) doubts due to whats gone before IMHO... US

We wont have to worry about CCP going bust any time soon.
But £27 Million for a product that does not sell very well at all.
Dont get me wrong i love alot of what spyker has to offer but 27 million is very excessive.
But good luck to them anyway, perhaps they can turn this low sales volume around.
