The whole trend of modernising old car shapes,
Beetle, mini, scirocco etc, I wouldn't be surprised if someone does it. The retro thing is in. Look at all the cunt on bicycles.

I genuinely think it's a goer.
There's a huge pool of car engineering skills in the UK, from designers all the way down to factory workers. Those lads in Dagenham won't be in a job for much longer.

They could absolutely resurrect a domestic car marque. Rover and Austin have bad reputations, but how about something like Alvis or Riley?

You could certainly make a go of the 65+/Motability market

I think it's been long enough that if you put together a cheap little Morris,
The sort of kids young enough to buy one won't really have much knowledge of the reputation. Plus that retro thing appeals to yuppie hipsters who want a cheap but cool first car.

Something like the Mini, or Fiat 500, maybe.

Aren't they both Coronation St characters?
