Just heard on the radio that they have called in the receivers as the merger with the Shanghai Car Company has fallen through.

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!!
