Interesting, I'm feeling a bit cynical this morning, so can we expect a staggeringly overpriced 301/401 lookalike in the near future?

The good thing is that it's still British.

India is still part of the Commonwealth with the Queen as head of it. So it is technically still British.

Bit like telling one born here that he is not Indian. Which I have done!

I was going by the provided link
https://sme.co.uk/2018/05/01/sme-lim...d-audio-brand/
that states:
"1st May 2018 – Steyning, England – SME, the British engineering and specialist Hi-Fi company, has acquired the rights to the Garrard audio brand from IGB Gradiente S.A. of Brazil. A British brand synonymous with the design and manufacture of class-leading Hi-Fi products throughout the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s, including the iconic 301 and 401 transcription turntables, Garrard is a much-admired audio brand whose products are eagerly sought out and traded worldwide."
