Rover Parkplatz

[mexters]

Es kann mir keiner erzählen, das kein Mensch einen Rover oder MG mehr kaufen will, also stinkt die ganze Geschichte doch bis zum Himmel. Man verursacht stattdessen noch größere Kosten, siehe die Parkgebühren. Das schreckt die Investoren doch nur noch mehr ab... Und ich dachte, das diese Spiele nur in Deutschland bis auf die Palme getrieben werden...  >:-( ;(

[js]

Es sind wohl nicht nur MG und Rover, sondern auch Autos von anderen Herstellern darunter. Möglicherweise sind die Bilder aber auch schon über 5 Jahre alt...

Auf mg-rover.org wurde auch schon darüber diskutiert, nachdem eine englische Zeitung darüber berichtete.

Iran abandons bid to buy MG Rover: press

LONDON, May 8 (IranMania) - Iran has abandoned its bid to buy the MG Rover now that the bankrupt British carmaker has sold its production rights to a Chinese entity, press Saturday quoted the country's industries minister as saying.

"Given the purchase of MG Rover's license by the Chinese, it is out of question now for Iran to buy it," Minister of Industries and Mines Es'haq Jahangiri said.

"We were not after bringing the Rover machinery to Iran; our aim was to manufacture the car in Britain under the company's license and (have access to) its research and technology center. Now that the Rover company's license has been bought by the Chinese, we don't need its machinery and our experts no longer advise us to buy it," he added.

China's Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (SAIC) is said to have bought Rover's brand which still belongs to the previous German owners BMW, in order to build 45 and 75 models in China.

Iran's about-face comes days after Jahangiri announced that the country was considering buying the MG Rover.

"Talks have been held and we are at the stage of assessment now," he said Monday, adding 'our auto industry is capable of reforming a troubled European carmaker and presenting it to world markets under the same brand'.

Even before, reports had it that leading carmakers Iran Khodro and SAIPA had approached MG Rover for a deal before its collapse.

The two companies dismissed the reports, but administrators seeking sell-off of the British entity's assets confirmed that Iran was among over 200 bidders seeking to buy a part of MG Rover.

Iran Khodro is the biggest carmaker in the Middle East and also makes Peugeot under license while SAIPA is the second largest car manufacturer in Iran.

Around 5,000 workers at Rover's main Longbridge plant in Birmingham lost their jobs after the failure to reach a partnership with Shanghai Automotive Industrial Corporation.

With the Iranian government out of the picture, it remains unclear as yet whether the private company Dastan of Iran would go ahead with its bid to assemble Rover cars.

Rover's chief of business development, Russ Thomas, has said the Iranian company seems to be having trouble raising money. Dastaan's aim, he says, is to obtain Rover's intellectual property, brand rights and engineering capability.

Dastan had reportedly been in exploratory talks with Rover for about 15 months over plans to build a plant and assemble some 150,000 cars a year in Sistan-Baluchestan province before the collapse.

The first trial shipment of 2,000 Rover 75 and 45 models, worth pnds 20 million (dlrs 38 m) was said to have been due last month and in May and June, with another pnds 30 m delivery later in the summer.

The shipments to Iran were apparently aimed to test the market and establish a trading relationship before Rover and Dastaan moved on to the assembly stage in 2006 that could have doubled the car company's production worldwide.

But according to the Daily Telegraph, Dastaan began to have cold feet as reports reached Tehran about growing difficulties at the car's Longbridge plant in Birmingham, central England.

It quoted a senior British official saying that Trade and Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt held six meetings this year with Iran's ambassador in an attempt to shore up the deal.

The talks, the paper said, suggested that Labor's government was more involved in the search for a rescue deal than has so far been revealed.

It reported that Foreign Secretary Jack Straw also discussed Rover in a series of meetings with the Iranian Ambassador to London, Mohammad Hossein Adeli.

Dastaan reportedly hoped to build a Rover plant in
Sistan-Baluchestan, which has a free-trade zone with special tax incentives for foreign firms.

Iran itself has a history of ties to the UK car industry, most notably with regard to the 1960s vintage Hillman Hunters, which was produced as the country's popular 'Paykan' models
