The Rover 25 note was more akin to a so-so product, clearly out of date, not making a profit. But always found buyers despite this.

As an aside comment. I'm pleased president Blair didn't lean to the old labour ways and pump millions of tax revenue into proping up this dinasour. Just to keep a load of brummies in work. From my view doing this with failing large companies is un-fair. I like the majority of British industry am a small business with less than 10 staff. Would they give me £1m to increase my profits, staff and tax revenues or £ 500m to rover so it can live for another year, deffer its p.a.y.e and vat and just leave a bigger hole in the end.
Sorry off-topic rant over.
