Sounds like it’s found a good home, which is good news for at least one of these concepts. Although, it’s seems like the others might be ok, too.

Was the 75 coupe concept a runner - what are the owners plans for it?

Seems there is news about the other cars at Longbridge, It's been reported that MG have now agreed to donate them to a museum no further detail about which museum this is, but Tom's hoping to have more info in the next few days,

Its now been confirmed. the cars have indeed been gifted by MG to the British motor Museum some have been moved away already, but won't be on display just yet, because after years of being in storage, and lately open to the elements, they will need some attention before they can be placed on display.
