Some of us already have lost them... What we'll have left is a niche market car industry, which although very nice and interesting can't support large numbers of employees. I think the largest one of these is TVR and look how many cars they make, and even then they're not British owned.
The UK is rapidly becoming a tertiary industry community with the vast majority working in insurance and the finance industries. As far as I'm concerned this is not good for the stability of the region.
