[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6518248, member: 718"] As far as I remember it is being engineered by a team from Mercedes but will have a BMW engine. Ratcliffe is a multi-billionaire, so if it amuses him to dabble in this area of business, he is almost uniquely positioned within the UK to carry it out. However he has very strong views about the UK Government's attitude to business and most of his money is made in mainland Europe and Germany in particular rather than the UK. His registered office and tax address also changes with the tax regimes of various countries and at the moment I think it is abroad again. Unless he has massive subsidies, I suspect he would build the vehicle abroad. I wouldn't be surprised if the Welsh Assembly threw massive dollops of money in his direction. They have done so to far less solid projects in the past. [/QUOTE]
