Business | The Phoenix Consortium, a loose alliance of West Midlands businessmen, announced that it had agreed to buy Rover from BMW for a symbolic BPS 10 ($16). The surprise move came just over a week after Alchemy Partners had broken off talks with BMW. It was widely acclaimed as a successful alternative to the Alchemy deal, which would likely have resulted in the loss of up to 19,000 jobs between Rover's Longbridge factory in Birmingham and its suppliers.
