So if as expected they do go under (damn shame but seriously mismanaged), who will then be the largest british car manufacturer.

Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't Jaguar already overtaken Rover in production?

Though some will say they are not British because they are owned by Ford.

who wouldn't say that? surely being owned by a massive american conglomerate kind of takes away the British ascpect.

So who does that leave? morgan?noble?caterham? i dont know but its an interesting question.

I'm lead to believe they went into receivership a while ago and a foreign investor 'came in' to save them??

London Taxis International may be the largest independent.
