[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7653278, member: 718"] It would be a bit more British but was an absurd idea from the start, and I said so. Ridiculously inefficient to cart all the parts from far and wide to the UK, outside the EU, and then cart the vast majority of assembled vehicles back into the EU again. At the very first announcement of the factory in Wales and the chassis and body panels made in Portugal with the axles made in Italy and the drivetrain in Germany, I realised that these people hadn't a clue. They were extremely fortunate to pick up part of Mercedes's factory almost tailor made for them, but I'm sure if both parties had planned it from the start, the chassis, engines and transmissions would also be made by Mercedes rather than BMW, ZF and a Portuguese chassis fabricator.
