Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Do all Americans think Jaguar is the only British make? They're the only ones we have contact with which isn't based around the sale of just one model. "Land Rover" and "Mini" are terms more for the model than the make.

killakanz 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Mini actually is a model, the original was made by a company called Austin. That was after Austin merged with Morris in 1952 to form BMC. The mini came in both badges. Before that, Austin had a very successful partnership with Healey producing a line of Austin-Healey sports cars. Unfortunately, these three along with MG, Rover and Wolseley were merged into the MG-Rover groups, which thanks to being traded through a number of greed-driven money munchers who didn't invest enough in them finally went into receivership in May 2005. A huge chunk of the British car industry, not to mention the last of the mass producers, vanished. First BMW bought out the group, and despite injecting a few billions, all they came up with was the Rover 75 and a new Range Rover model but failed to stop the decline. Desperate to escape the liabilities, BMW sold MG Rover to Phoenix for just £10. BMW kept the Riley, Triumph and Mini for themselves and sold Land Rover to Ford. Phoenix managed the MG-Rover group for 5 years but did next to nothing to help save it. Pheonix even kept a $500m loan from BMW for themselves and simply let the MG-Rover group die out. All we have left really are a few small makers building a few hundred of one model per year, like AC (the Cobra, ooh baby! I wants one!), Caterham, Westfield and Morgan. The others are owned by foreign companies; Jaguar - Owned by Ford (Europe - PAG). Aston Martin - Owned by Ford (Europe - PAG) Rolls Royce - Owned by BMW Bentley - Owned by Volkswagen Lotus - Owned by Proton TVR - Owned by Russian tycoon Nikolai Smolenski. McLaren - Aha, now then. While lots of folk say they're owned by Mercedes now, that's not true. They are only sporting partners and DaimlerChrysler only own 40% shares. McLaren Group is still technically British owned (although a lot of it's funding for the recent road cars comes from Mercedes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
