I liked the British Sports Car bit - a bit daft, but it was highlighting that we're losing out by not having a (sports) car industry here. We have a Nissan base, Lotus are Malaysian owned, TVR were Russian owned before they said Dasvidania. There's only really Noble flying the flag, and they're built over the world and shipped to Leicester.

 

I think there were a few hidden messages in there and it was quite a nice piece. And the windmill they drove past is the very same one I drive past every day on my home from work! Grr!

I catched it on BBC iPlayer and have to say the british icon bit was very very good, the end really was emotional and did really shoot home where the car industry in the UK has gone. It was pretty shocking seeing these factories now in ruins & nothing really giving a damn. Lets hope that inspires someone with a lot of money to do something.

As stunning as the new jag looked, not worth £500,000! I'd rather have the old E Type Jag, a Ferrari F430, Gallardo, R35 GTR & a second hand Bentley GT for the £500,000! Do these companies now just dream these numbers up or has inflation hit a high that nobody knows about.

They might sell 5 at that price. I dunno why they don't lower the price and sell 5000 of them and still cover costs over the long run. I'm sure plenty of people would pay 80k for one :D
