I've not said they were sold on the cheap, I said that they were bought by foreign buyers because the Pound depreciated since the Brexit vote. But the costs to overseas buyers in their own currency since the vote were substantially cheaper due to the weaker £.
Companies acquired include our largest tech company ARM (sold to Soft Bank of Japan) and Odeon Cinemas (sold to the Chinese).
Pre-EU, Minis were assembled in Belgium to avoid tariffs. That factory was no longer needed once we joined the EU.
Because of Brexit, battery-powered
Minis might be made in Germany instead of the UK. I hope they will be made in the UK.
