blastfumacemen the Big Four motor manufacturers are looking to the Continent for alternative supplies of steel More than 90 per cent of the motor steel is normally supplied by the mammoth British Steel Corporation whqse subsidiary the Steel Company of Wales contributes a sizeable roportion from its Abbey-largam works at Port Talbot All the major car companies British Leyland Vauxhall Ford and
