Radio 4’s The Reunion show last Sunday (42-minutes), focused on the collapse of British Leyland and brought together Harold Musgrove, former shop steward, John Power, commercial apprentice, Chris Green and Alison Harper, the company’s first female clay modeller. Bringing it all together was Radio 4’s Kirsty Wark and motoring journalist and former Top Gear presenter Chris Goffey. He said, ‘my first experience of Longbridge was turning up in a foreign test car, and being told I couldn’t bring it through the gates – I had to park it out on the street.’ That had Musgrove interject by saying, ‘that’s reasonable – I arranged that for Longbridge and also for Cowley.’
A 45-minute microcosm of the trouble and strife – the divisions – that dogged BLMC, Rover and MG Rover right to the end:-
