The future looks quite sad for Longbridge, I’ve never managed a plinth shot or photo outside the gates with ‘marmite’ as it was always too busy on the POL days.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle

I thought similar but I had to make do with the transport I had at the time. The thought of yet more rabbit hutches being built on the site saddens me greatly.

Yes we had the same issue after POL a few years ago.
