Amazing.
Some of those cars are ready to be driven away ! It's like there was a plague and eveyone just up and left instantly.... In the end it seems so sad and a huge waste. It shows how much money they were losing in the end. |

I saw that factory - I believe it was 60 minutes. All the factory machinery (production line) has been moved to China, where they are building the MG.

You'd think they'd atleast scrap all the unused products.
I'd have driven away in the sports car that was ready to go

Amazing to think in this day and age that a company would be left like that, there would be millions of dollars worth of stock and infrastructure sitting in that factory doing nothing.

It would be cheaper to scrap it and start again that try and send all the stuff to China.
Those Rover factories are 50+ years old.

Longbridge is nearly 100! It is one of the largest car plants in the world. However the facilities from what I can see are pretty modern, due mainly to Honda's influence. They certainly look more modern than Broadmeadows, which is basically falling apart. |
