its an excellent site that, and it was because of them pics i registered, still kinda weird seeing a plant like that just stopped!!:rip:
|
:cry:
|
I will take the TF-X in silver yes please!
The amount of bodyshells that got crushed too.....just appalling. Shame I didn't have the money and the space.......I would have bought as many as I possibly could. A few ZS shells...a few ZR shells and as many TF ones as I could get my hands on. Awesome site that. Am I right in thinking that part of the factory is the one that has been demolished??

I drove past it last sunday, All gone now.
Birmingham's heart has stopped beating !!! |
A real sorry sight that this, been there a few times. My daughters boyfriend lives dead opposite there on the Lickey Road.

upsetting pics :( let's hope MG make a strong return to Britain sooner rather than later :)
|
I joined up the site a few years ago when I was quite into the sneaking in and taking pictures thing. Did a couple of old hospitals... if you want freaked out go do that lol
|
I'd love to have had a chance to go look around the factory but alas. That's not really gonna happen now.
Ah well... At least i've got to have a look around Prodrive. :) |
I was on the verge of going down but then heard it was almost all gone or on the brink of going
Such a shame |
breaks my heart to look at those pics seen a lot of them before still makes me cringe that the powers that be stood by and watched it happen

Rover 75 replacement is my guess
Smitten Jim |
it was a 75 coupe concept I think
|
No word of a lie. Really do find these pics upsetting. Think of the history of the place too. If walls could talk eh?
|
same here, its weird but it really does bring a tear to the eye

just as well they went bust then, it's fecking ugly!
I would deffinately have bought a TF-X though, that thing is so damn sexy! |
I wonder what happened to all the half finished cars and all the unused bits & pieces? MG will be interesting in the future but i dont think it will ever be the same again as its NOT BRITISH OWNED!!!!! What a huge waste of a once great brand...
|
Some of them were sold off, but I think that most of them were cut up... :cry:
|
yeah most of them sold off cheap locally and the rest were crushed. Such a waste
|
There were some interesting items at the auction, very sad to see and there were some unusual projects too.

Found some shots of the Save MG Rover rally
