I would not buy a British vehicle currently. As long as this dubious populist has said that, you can not rely on contracts with the British. See the bursting of the Brexit contract with the EU. And at an unregulated Brexit, the question is whether Jaguar / Rover can then meet all obligations to have them as a manufacturer to their customers. Complaints and demanding consumer rights will be complicated if the UK leave the EU. Only right, with a hard Brexit.
