How hard would it be for a new upstart company to take over one of the factories, and start making export-grade luxury cars, that demand a premium.
The only surviving English car makers are prestige. If the business model was clever enough, there would only be a need for one lot of government funding, then it could be run as 50/50 public/private enterprise. Our parts makers are winning contracts with McLaren, Tesla etc, which proves we have the R&D capability to be a world player. Have a platform so versatile it can cover specialised mining equipment and commercial vehicles. It would take something pretty spectacular and daring to get a foothold in this cut throat market....but I reckon it could be done. |
