Could you expand on this a bit? Do you mean UK production or design?
Wasn't the VW Beetle designed in pre-war Germany by Dr Porsche? Also, I
think there was a lot of German nationalism surrounding the production
of this car so I'm surprised to hear about any British connection. Was
this some sort of post war German production startup strategy?
