  Chinese buy black cab company,for £11.4 million. The company that makes the famous black taxi has now been sold to a Chinese company who say it will still be made in the uk. Thats good news as long as it stays in the uk. Story on the bbc news website

  
  Can also mean, assembled in the UK but the majority of production might be abroad.
