Solves the problems of firms selling abroad after Brexit, we’ll have nowt to sell.
me tooNice price a bit out of my pocket though
I believe BMW and Merc have factories in China, probably only making small bits that are sent back to the fatherland for assembly. Triumph Motorcycles, have a factory in Malaysia, and someone said in India too, where bikes are still widely used for transport, rather than fun. Only the frames are made over there, engines etc are still made in Hinkley.
Triumph Motorcycles have six factories. Two of these factories are based in Hinckley in the UK, three are in Chonburi, Thailand and one is n Manaus, Brazil. So, SOME Triumph motorbikes are made or at least assembled in the UK. ... The original Triumph factory closed down in 1983.1 Apr 2013
It will be interesting to see whether worldwide JLR sales rise or fall when production stops in the UK, the brand is well established but cant help but feel it may lose sales when it ceases to be seen as a British made car.

It will be interesting I agree. Us british are a strange race, moan about no jobs then buy foreign coz its cheaper, more reliable, and costs less.
Where as for example Korea, was going bump, they stuck together bought korean, and low and behold they no do good motors and give a 5 or a 7 year warrenty.

They tell you this on the factory tour .I believe BMW and Merc have factories in China, probably only making small bits that are sent back to the fatherland for assembly.

Need to learn from the Americans, they are very patriotic about what they buy. Even watching the American youtube channels, they stress American made tools and equipment often.
Yeah you notice that the american sparkies bang on about feild piece and klein tools and meters. Have a few as you can now get them here and i can say i understand why they like them. Plus for them im sure they arent much more expensive than import stuff.
