There's some mint photos on that link! Quite a sorry site with all the half finished rovers...

[ryan22_lgm]

seen this a while back what happened with the mini did they take any parts off it? rear subby looked good?

[minimissionary]

Seems a crime to let all those unfinished cars sit there. Makes the cringe to think they've been turned into some watered down jellybean of a car.
Pedigree. Castrated.

Time to go get some rover parts....

[mini_in_progress]

wow, that awesome, wouldnt you love to buy that building, the cars are cool but so is the building, tunnels and allsorts

[Down&Out]

I saw that years ago and being that its longbridge, i think the building (and most likely the car, tunnels etc) are gone.

[orangeboy]

threw me off on a right tangent, some awesome shots, such a sad sight all that history

i thought only a small portion was gone and the factory were making the mg6..?

[minimissionary]

Isn't it the opposite? They're only making about 60 cars a week.

[mini_in_progress]

oh i dont know, thought all the factory was there and they sold off some small bits? i read they were starting with a few hundred a month them going full steam with a few thousand.....

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Glad I got to see the bits that were demolished before they were knocked down... a sad sight, what has the once great British car industry become?

Long live MG/Rover I say

Maybe I'm a bit thick, but what were the tunels for?
