Britain never had a world leading car industry - all it ever did was to produce utter diabolical crap. The only reason it 'succeeded' during 50s/60s was 'cos there was no competition - rest of the world was still rebuilding from the war. Rest of the world finally got their act together at end of 60s. The rest is history. The only thing the car and aircraft industry succeeded in was grabbing disaster from the jaws of success.

Anyone notice the Vauxhall- it was sold as a Holden Torana here in Australia, the Holden cars were really just Vauxhall / Opel {German] cars.

the days when britain had a world leading car industry
yep, Rover could have been great again, yet the idiots in government decided to let the last british owned car maker pass into history... how can the UK survive now with no money coming in, there are very few products being made here... we cant even mine our own coal, weve got to line the pockets of russia for that, pathetic!
