optimum production level of 2 cars a day by April 2001. The Qvale Automotive
Group, and in particular its founder, Kjell Qvale, are no strangers to Britain.
Kjell Qvale created British Motor Car Distributors, which became the largest
distributor of British-made cars in the United States, handling cars such as
MG, Austin Healy, Triumph, Jaguar, Lotus, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jensen.
In 1970, Kjell Qvale bought Jensen Motors, a purchase which led to the
creation of the Jensen-Healey, which he developed jointly with Donald Healy.
