What happens if Mercedes pull the plug on the warranty of these vehicles?

What happens if this conversion is deemed to be a contributing factor or the cause of a fatal accident?

What happens if Mercedes decide to introduce this as a Mercedes product?

What happens if councils who don't have a LTI only policy decide to introduce the London CoF now because their is choice?

Or still better ............... what happens if the shares for LTI drop so low that Mercedes launch a takeover of LTI ?

If the government have protected LTI ............ and that is a matter of opinion ............. then whats to say they won't step in and save it?

How do owners of LTI vehicles who have 4 years worth of payments left on their cabs get their cabs repaired if LTI go under?

What about their warranty's?

JD and co are just glad to see a company they despise struggle .......... they suggest that it is better for drivers ............... how can it be when people who own these vehicles either have to keep paying for them or have to keep running them?

Not to much thought has gone into the plus points of the argument and no consideration has been given to the down side of it.

B. Lucky :D

Are you saying that LTI should be able to maintain their monopoly status?

Is it your opinion that taxpayers money should be spent bailing them out?
Inflicting their inferior product on even more powerless cabbies in the process?

look on the bright side

if manganese go tits up, and there are no more "london cabs" being built, at least you can buy the merc variant!

if that didnt exist there would have been an abrupt end to the insistence of certain LA's that its a london cab or nowt...

havent THEY had a close call..........or is that how the merc got approved!

ooooh, conspiracy!

Same place as 95% of the country, and 100% of the rest of the world.

In line with most other shares Manganese Bronze is in freefall.

The share price currently stands at 1.95.
