French car industry success, yes French people baught French cars British people baught foreign cars The French government had a plan (evidently) which was to make their industrial base the best in the world and regardless of what the politics of their government they stuck to it most of the time. whether they achieved it and/or it lasts remains to be seen, but they did much better than we British. There are many other factors that effected our growth but I believe it was a lack of Government "long view" that was the prime problem, the same with Trade Union leaders. Chris.S.
