HMG financed De SWMBO and Rootes Linwood and Bathgate and Halewood. If anything a government grant is a warning sign.

And as for "MMC think that", well words fail me.

But that really isnt the issue anyway. What determines the future are us, the customers plus the legislative situation in the countries they sell to. I was interested to hear in the recently posted interview video that MMC export 60% of what they make. I wonder what will be the attitude of other governments to a Trad with an electric motor

P.S. Weird. I have typed in the name of that american sports car made in belfast and the software has changed it to SWMBO. Why? Whats the link?
