Good news for residuals of the current model I guess but perhaps otherwise not such good news, viewed in the round.

Perhaps come 2050, the current Mini will still be in production in a nationalised factory - as the Sovereign State of England's answer to the Hindustan Ambassador...

Yes, that's referenced in the Mini piece too - although the FT article does clarify that "it's just one scenario" and also one that "pre-dates the new CEO"...and Nissan obviously denies it but then I think Nissan denials carry about as little weight these days as Boris denials.

If we're going to have a national car I hope it's not a fucking MINI!

You’ll still be able to drive your Audi, it’ll just be 10% more expensive. Look on the bright side the Yanks will be paying 25% more.

Nothing wrong with the Mini as a national car, it was originally launched in a very good year....... ;-)
