Many thought that could mean the end of Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port as GM sought to stem its European losses (around £2 billion in the last three years), especially as it is easier to close plants and lay off workers in the UK than in mainland Europe.

Noble M600 arrives

Which does tend to suggest that either Noble has lost its marbles, or the M600 offers rather more than previous Nobles.
