Car makers in the UK

November 25th, 1999

A letter to the Editor of the Daily Telegraph which was published on 25th November 1999.

If there are threats by Ford and BMW to withdraw from producing in Britain, it gives an opportunity to recover Rolls-Royce, Rover and Ford assets at knock-down prices, while making life difficult for hostile car companies to sell their products here.  It would also serve notice on assorted American and German bosses operating other assets here to keep out of British politics.
