Just heard on the radio that they have called in the receivers as the merger with the Shanghai Car Company has fallen through.
A great shame, I have grown up in the West Midlands area, in fact I drove past Longbridge plant only last week, a sad shame.

Twas a DTi and govt f*ckup.. MGR calle din a company to "assess" there financial position. but the DTi and a woman whose name escapes me, heard this is "the recievers are being called in" .. according to the phoenix four, its buisness as usual. but wiht al this bad press, it could go down the pan

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Theres still a chance the gov could step in and throw some money rovers way, unlikely but it is election time so who knows. Seriously doubt China will come in to save the day either it would make much more sense to wait until rover goes under then just buy the technology they want. Very sorry state of affairs.

Its the DTi fault that the directors of Pheonix have lined their pockets with mililons and killed the company!!

Yeah, theyre not definately doomed yet, it'd obviously not a good sign.

Being selfish, does this have any implications for us? Rover only parts etc?

They also took on all the difficult work in closing down / parting out a company, together with contract severance compensation, pensions scheme, redundancy, etc... Not such a bargain now eh!
