2012 was a record year for British car production. We made more cars in Britain than ever before. Land Rover, Range Rover, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and Nissan all hitting production records exporting all over the world, particularly in Asia.

How many here want British Leyland back? And why? A business that was bad to begin with, finished not by Maggie but by union practices combining with a terrible product.

Sure all these companies are now owned overseas, but so what? The manufacturing and jobs are UK and as noted earlier UK pension funds are big investors in these companies. In car technology the UK, and specifically the Midlands today, leads the world (formula 1 type technology).
