To their surprise it wasn't like that at all. The Rolls-Royce marque was owned by Rolls-Royce plc (a different company) who sold the Rolls-Royce marque to BWM. This means that VAG got the old factory in Crewe and the Bentley marque and that BMW got the Rolls-Royce marque. BMW then built a new factory and will soon (2003?) start producing cars under the Rolls-Royce marque. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
