mtravel Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 You can be happy about it. Vauxhall = French Rolls Royce = German Bentley = German Jaguar = Indian Aston Martin = Canada (almost) McLaren = Bahrain + Canada + Saudi Arabia Range and Land Rover = India Lotus = China Rover = gone Leyland = gone Maybe you have Caterham and Morgan left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's not really rocket science. Cars imported from EU will have a 10% tariff - so you make 'em in the U.K. ( Which means that they will be cheaper for British buyers Dave ). ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtravel Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 malc d - 2020-05-28 1:49 PM It's not really rocket science. Cars imported from EU will have a 10% tariff - so you make 'em in the U.K. ( Which means that they will be cheaper for British buyers Dave ). ;-) An undeniable advantage for you. But do you really think that on this part of the Channel we are so dumb to pay 10% more for a car just because it has the refueling intake on the left side? I do not think so. You ? Max p.s. These are the rules of export and an internal market is ridiculous when we talk about globalization. Just an example. Lancia left the British market many years ago because it made no sense to produce right-side-drive cars for such a small volume of business. Maybe others will. You can obviously continue to drive Nissan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were made to counterbalance the poor reliability of British cars and revenge us. Think that when we complained about the constant breakdowns of English cars, the dealer replied that we had been unlucky: your car had been finished late in the afternoon, at tea time. Got it. All unfortunate ... ... that's why we see few of them. Max P.S. This is however motorhomes and caravans forum. Of course, Burstner, Hymer, Rapido, CI, N + B, etc. will also cost 10% more.

Barryd999 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 No doubt Johnson has bunged them a sh1t load more money (again) or promised them something. They needed a good news story right now, lets face it. Unless Nissan can sell millions of their Sunderland produced cars to Brits only though it makes no sense as the way Cummings is steering Brexit they will become at least 10% more expensive to the European mainland marketplace. It is good news of course for Sunderland but for how long? If the Japanese have trusted Johnson with whatever deal he has bribed them with then they are fools. Of course nobody yet knows how Europe and the UK will come out the other side of this so I guess we will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe63xnotuse Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well for starters, Autotrail are owned by Trigano, so they are now French.. (I thought Autosleepers went through a spell when they were own by a foreign "Group"? but I think they are now back as a stand alone company?) The likes of Wildax and Romahome are only low volume producers anyway. But whoever "owns" them, they are still mounted on "foreign" base vehicles, and assembled using predominately "foreign" owned/made/sourced materials and components ..and anyone who thinks that it's credible to stand the likes of "Swift" up against the list of car, base vehicle and component manufactures that "mtravel" posted, needs to steer clear of the cheap plonk and *sit in the shade more? (lol) *Maybe under a British made patio "umbrella"?. and one that's delivered by a British owned courier? (and hopefully not some some Chinese-made job?, delivered by foreign owned couriers like DHL(German), Hermes(German), DPD (French)... etc ? :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also forgot about "taking back control" when almost half of Nissan is owned by France! (lol) Surprised he had the audacity to post a DM link since branding it a "remoaner rag".
