The embattled British Leyland/Rover cars was handed over to British Aerospace sometime in the 1980's, I think for one GBP. The then UK Trade Secretary thought that there could be some synergy between the two engineering strands that might rub off on the car production. He had probably read some SAAB car brochures -LOL! Things didn't quite go after his head and British Leyland was sold again to BMW who had another go at it. By the way, BMW also have aircraft ancestry. It didn't work either, so the company was handed to a consortium in the UK for 10 GBP. It worked up to a couple of months ago when it folded. A Chinese car manufacturer is now looking at the company. > > > >>> Saab New Campaign "What we Learned in the AIr, now available on the ground" > > > >>> [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > worked up to a couple of months ago when it folded. A Chinese car manufacturer > is now looking at the company. It's actually been sold. Or rather various bits have been sold to different bidders. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4708739.stm " Rover sold to Nanjing Automobile " But Shanghai Automotive had already purchased the rights to their engines IIRC and maybe some other stuff too.
