[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7652063, member: 718"] There seems to be some confusion about what makes a company or, more specifically a product British [or choose your country]. In fact there are legal definitions as our exporting manufacturers are about to find out if they export to the EU. For instance Nissan Sunderland is a British company itself, as distinct from Nissan Japan, and is invited to competitively tender to build vehicles. If it doesn't tender competitively, the manufacturing goes to another Nissan factory and since there are no others in the UK, that means to France, Spain, or further east. To be classed as a British car for export the Nissan [or any other product] has to have a minimum British built content. That is why they were desperate to have a battery factory in the UK, otherwise content would be under the limit and high import taxes would be levied on their cars entering the EU. Not sure what the UK content of JLR's Discovery and Defender is but the engine is the only major British built content that I can think of off hand. So I class these as being Slovakian while their other products are British as well as the cars Nissan build in Sunderland, even though their current engines and gearboxes are imported before cars are assembled [/QUOTE]
