Johnny Morris bought, in succession, Trophy and went to the well with

In my opinion, they took a great boat line, went cheap on the
manufacturing, loosened up the quality control and rely on the once
great name to sell them.


Seen that done many times. Especially witht he british automotive
industries. British Leyland bought out the traditional companies.,,
MG, Triumph, BSA, Norton, Austin , etc. Some how Land rover survived.
Why? Lord knows. ... Leyand robbed them of what little capital they
had, gave them nothing to work with, let alone compete, let their
facilities run down worse, right along with their tooling and
assembly techiniqes, and eventually tanked 'em all.

Did you here the one about the guy that bought a brand new Land Rover
and it didn't leak any oil so he kept complaining to the dealership
until they finally fixed the problem before the warrenty ran out????
