MG gave away secrets to Japan. Four years after the sleek EX-E prototype was shown at Frankfurt, I tested a Nissan 200SX. Austin-Rover was broke in 1985 and EX-E rests a museum piece at Gaydon, milk spilt in the dog days of British Leyland. A reminder of how inept politicians were at trying to run industry.

            EX-E was not forgotten at Nissan.
