Hi Alan.
Seems the Chinese operation was in a way similar to what Skoda did with their cars up the the demise of the rear engined versions.
The Estelle & Rapid Coupe went to Skoda GB's facility in Kings Lynn and were kitted out with British made wheels & tyres, centre console & Philips stereo, speakers etc. Other items were fitted too.
Skoda though were selling upward of 17,000 units in the UK at their peak.

I knew that the full car was never a UK build but with only 25 production staff they are contributing less to the UK economy than Skoda did during the 80-90's
I doubt this will make any great difference to sales. companies like Dacia do OK so why not MG?
