I hesitate to ask this question as it will offend someone out there who is a pureist. But, how do we classify New Minis...BMW is a German company, the old Minis were British. The same was true when the new MG-F was owned by BMW...later bought by a group who has re-named the company MG Car Company. But the question is...Pure British...which cars are pure british in Design and Manufacture ? That DOES NOT take away from the value, pride, road fun, looks, or anything else ( please mini-guys...I am not starting a war here...just wondering ). I am going to purchase a Mini as soon as the funding is avail...my wife wants one NOW. Minis are just one of the latest to be merged under dual citizenship. There have been other cars with similar pedigrees over the years ie Volkswagen owns Bugatti, Nash Metros were American cars built 100% in England, and so on.
Where and how do we homogenize the system to allow for these mergers within the British or American or Bavarian collector car categories ?
