Would Honda want somebody else to make their cars?
Swindon doesn't make electric cars. That is why Honda is closing it. So altogether a non-starter.

Honda will be closing its factory in Swindon in July next year, a date that has been "set in stone".
It announced it was shutting the site with the loss of 3,500 jobs due to global changes in the car industry and the need to launch electric vehicles.

BOTH cars are going to be built at the French site.
