    Backwards on the M62
    5 Mins down the road from me. Most of it has been demolished now - the old engine assembly plant, paint shops, office areas etc are all gone - along with the main production lines.

    MG X Power centre is still there, along with all of the racing team area - that'd be interesting to get in to - throttle bodies off the shelf anyone?

    That's such a shame.
    Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.

    Thres still thousands of cars sat at Heyford airfield that were waiting to be sold, technically nobody owns them so they cant be sold. The Chinese bought the rights to make new ones but not to sell any left over

    on the subject of rovers, anyone see that article on retro cars about that mothballed factory in (insert foreign country here cant remember) that bought the assembly rights to the SD1, then closed down. hundreds and hundreds of brand new SD1 shells just sitting there till the present day, and warehouses stacked with boxed brand new components.

    bit of a typo, i meant the feature IN retro cars (i.e the magazine)

    quick google turned up the results anyway, as rimmer brothers bought all the parts back to the UK

    Way too Fast :-/
    Reminds me of a lad i knew who was in the forces and stationed in the greek/cypriot no mans land sometime in the 80's. Their base was a Toyota garage which was apparently full of brand spanking new cars.

    Fascinating pictures, but very sad .. another British establishment gone forever. then again their cars always appealed to "the older generation" and were not up to scratch with the competition.(awaits scorning)
