Iran to save MG Rover?
From justauto:
UK: Iran preparing to bid for entire MG Rover manufacturing operation - paper
06 May 2005
Source: just-auto.com editorial team
Article Summary:
Iran is preparing an offer to buy MG Rover's entire operating plant and reopen the Longbridge assembly lines for immediate production, according to the Daily Telegraph, which noted that the bid to save up to 20,000 jobs in the West Midlands is seen as an effort to earn goodwill in Britain and soften the UK government's hard line on Iran's nuclear programme.

Brilliant plan on Irans part. What better way to stick it to the americans than to get their closest alliance to buddy up a little bit.
Let us have nukes or lose thousands of jobs.

Re: Iran to save MG Rover?
Honestly, if I had to choose, Id rather see the KorComs with nukes before Iran. Thats for a different forum though.
Is that offer being made by an Iranian company, or by the Iranian government?
Dont know how Id feel if my job was saved by a terrorist country with nuclear weapons though...

I'm pretty sure the Brits will hold firm on their position. I also wonder if this is the Gov't or just an Iranian company, and is there much dif. at all?
