These small mfrs have been bought and sold by large car companies before.

Lambo comes to mind, it was once sold to a small, rich (Indonesian) investment group, but that didn't work and now it's owned by VW.

Has there EVER been an example of a niche car company being sold to an investment group, and having it actually work out?

The odds seem highly against it. Even with Ford's enormous resources, Aston didn't work out. Hard to see how it's going to work with some "enthusiasts" and an investment company. Yeah, the investment company probably has some good money, but they *are* an "investment" company and will expect a return after some point.
