Actually there’s a Made in Hambach sticker in RWB on the window. MAGNA is an Austrian firm but no love for them.

Yes there is. On the rear left-hand side window
is a " Built in Hambach " sticker together with the French flag. ( Albeit an elongated flag)
British design, German technology. And a handful of other countries supplying parts, but no flags for them.
as I recall most of the engineering took place in Germany until Magna took over to build the prototypes. Many engineers and managers came from German manufacturers like Mercedes.
But "made in Hambach" ... sounds very German with French flag
Serious now ... let's stop laughing ... made in Europe with worldwide components
EDITED: Global ... Grenadier like all cars?
If the world could forget to be serious, and found time to laugh at itself, and with itself, th world would then become a much happier and safer place for us all to live together in peace.Serious now ... let's stop laughing ... made in Europe with worldwide components

The world is global, we can't live without each other, be it on microscopical level or macroscopical level, but this is a philosophical discussion indeed.
Yep. Guilty. I pressed the wrong face-thingy. Now edited. The vehicle was going to be built, originally, in Wales - but Sir Jim was made an offer no business man could refuse by Mercedes. That’s life.
Well it depends what year you are living in.
I’m no philosopher! Just a believer in people. And the power of laughter. What a wonderful, diverse world we live in, and all too often have made a mess of. There is no room for negativity in my opinion. Look for the positives- especially the positives that involve fun and laughter.
Mercedes made the offer after the Welsh government were less than helpful with a grant for the factory in Wales. The inverted A in the front grill of the vehicle was their gesture to the Welsh government for their " help".
Is time travel an option when ordering - now that really could be a lot of fun!Well it depends what year you are living in.

…not to mention the new Welsh 20mph speed limit!
All I wanted was the British one - not an option when ordering from US. Only option was US flag. That's the reason why I'm so puzzled as to why I have a combo UK:Germany. Thanks everyone for the replies especially those that bring a smile at the end of the day!
