David,
The only one I can think of at present is Daimler. They moved the assembling of Scout Cars (Dingo) to Bamfords at Uttoxeter, they were farm machery manufacturers. I read somewhere that the Daimler Armoured Car production was moved to Wolverhampton, but do not know if it was contracted out or if it was a Daimler plant. Assume this all happened as a result of the Coventry raids.
