Why , for heavens sake, did we Brits' let it go? If Fiat can save the day by bringing back the '500', why doesn't someone like Branson set up the manufacture of a modern British Mini, and, be damned with the BMW jumbo mini - huh? Get Dyson to produce a world beating battery propulsion unit and we've got it made - oh, and fitted with special sound effects like that of an ERA. Wishful thinking? I guess so.
