Or have I got it the "wrong way" round??

NAC and SAIC have merged - or SAIC have taken over NAC, depending on how you look at it
This means that SAIC now effectively own Longbridge. SAIC are much richer than NAC, although they showed no interest in UK production before the sale back in 2005.
There are now many possible futures for Longbridge with SAICs deeper pockets - production of MG7/"Rover" 750 or new models completely.
We shall have to wait and see.
