So farewell then, Austin,Morris, BMC, British Leyland ,MG Rover.
Our first car was a Mini and we had several Metros. Most of my schoolmates who didn't stay on to go to college went onto Longbridge or to one of the component firms.
The City of a Thousand Trades is losing another one, but Jaguar hangs on.

A nation mourns.
