Dunno. Coventry Climax was based here, making Forklift trucks amongst other things. There was a lot of heavy industry in Coventry, which is why it had the crap bombed out of it in WW2 and is now made entirely of concrete.

It was actually twinned with Dresden after the war, because that was heavily bombed by us. We don't have an AMD plant here though but a Coventry company, Matrix Churchill, did try to build and ship the "Iraqi Supergun", which is almost as bad.
