Thanks, there a nice show of an old production line, love the care free way in which they spray

LOL @ 4.16 on the first video

[mighty mini jack]

That really is amazing!

Very interesting video, it takes around 12 months now adays. If this was today, the "Health & Saftey" officers would have had a field day closing down Austin every other day.

Longshot.. at 6 minutes in the first video, can someone identify that colour?

Hmmm, not production line I'm afraid

For more production line to fill in the middle gap (pressumably 1989 as a Mini Sky rolls off the line)
