Nissan has threatened to build the next model of the Almera abroad rather than at its Sunder-land plant unless the UK votes in favour of joining the euro in a referendum by 2004.

Ghosn said he hoped there would be no need for 'excruciating analysis' when the Almera decision came because a positive euro vote would have already taken place.
