We have sold our birthright for a pot of message to the EEC, and because of that we can't subsidise our own companies if we want, not that I think MG Rover deserve a lot of our money. The MG side is producing decent cars and the engine side is producing good engine for both MG Rover cars and others. They have a new model all ready to roll which could be ready for next year and it meets all current EEC legislation, and that is miles ahead of a lot of the other motor manufacturers. I happen to think the present range of Rover cars are nice cars, but for some reason [marketing?] they have never caught on. I suspect that there is a bit of carry over from the bad old days which didn't help them.
