Longbridge 'through the fence'

allegroman · 6th February 2017, 18:42

Having seen the factory all over the internet recently, I took a look on Sunday. Just to be clear, all these pictures are taken from outside the MG UK boundary fence! While I was tempted to try and get into CAB2 my friend and I decided that we'd just look from a distance in this case.

Nonetheless, got some pictures which some may find interesting...

75 shell on the loading dock

2007 registered 75 which seems to have been off-road for a few years

2004 ZT-T, also not being used

MG5- presumably it was being considered for import (with body changes) at some point

MG GS in camouflage

MG ZS consigned to the scrapheap

Quite a few MGFs

I need an exhaust, and I'm pretty sure there's one in that pile!

Scale models, such a shame to see these discarded

It still seems extraordinary that the company could have ended up like this...

Interesting pics! That ZT-T was taxed until 2010 but curiously there is no MOT or mileage data available???

Great shots, unfortunate Reg in the second pic.

I'm amazed that everything hasn't been auctioned off at some point.
