Designed by its advisor, automotive engineering specialist ARUP, the cars could be built in the UK in the next five years. Nanjing is in competition with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (SAIC), which has teamed up with ex-Ford Europe boss Martin Leach"s Magma consortium, while businessman David James, saviour of the Millennium Dome, is also in the running to take over the firm.
The SAIC-Magma plan wants to see manufacturing return to Longbridge and the creation of a new research centre. Nanjing"s proposal, meanwhile, is more likely to shift production of mainstream models to China, although the sports car division would remain in Britain. The David James bid, which needs a Government loan guarantee, plans to make the MG TF in the Midlands.
