I too read a lot about this in 2017. A great deal of time on my hands recovering from cancer.
It is a massive debate but my own conclusion was that it should not have been saved.
The rot started with Leonard Lord in the 1950's. The creation of BLMC in the late 60's was ill judged and poorly executed.
Honda full takeover was a missed opportunity.
BAe was a waste of time and BMW lost interest and ran off with the best bits.
In 2005 the cars had been so poor quality they were no longer able to sell them. I've owned a few and was horrified by the drop in fit and finish.
The last 5 years of MGR were a bonus for what was a dead duck.
Pity really as the cars were actually really good designs badly built.
