I seem to remember that it was a Ford problem but something similar may have happened at MG Rover? Perhaps some of the old staff may remember what happened at MGR?
Crazing?
because of union involvement and bad management, in the 70's BL would move some cars to different site, even body in white! They came painted with rust!
