A report in the Warsaw Business Journal says that FSO has been given a second chance with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) and Britain’s Rover forming a consortium to take over the plant.


“On Saturday the SAIC supervisory board made a decision concerning the investment in the Warsaw plant. This means that the project has also been initially accepted by the government in Beijing, which is the main shareholder in the company,” said one of the people who has been searching for a potential investor in FSO.
