The forth TBL could be 'loaned' or 'sold' to '888' (inverted commas as they are essentially BMR anyway) to enable them to run as a 3 car outfit.
As I recall the MG/888 deal is signed until the end of 2018, so assume they will be back with a couple of cars. Not expecting them to expand beyond 2 cars; they are struggling to run those as it is. Don't know how that is going to work in terms of chassis - surely they can't run the same bent and broken cars for another year, and seems little point in building new cars for one year using an obsolete model.

Agree with BMR down-sizing, although expect them to go down to 2 cars.
