Another Longbridge registered car...

yeah I thought that was funny, this was actually run by MG Rover group. It still has the original MG Rover group plates!

probably explains why the mileage is so low and the badges are so faded

There seem be huge numbers of MGs registered at Longbridge. It was a fiddle operated by MG Rover (and all other mass manufacturers) to artificially boost their sales figures. They registered the cars, ran them for around 1,000 miles and then sold them on as pre-registered cars at a discounted price.

I currently own 3 cars that were registered by MGR. Two have BX plates and the other one BJ. My Mk1 ZS was also a BX.

yeah that car is on an 04 plate but is actually an early 05 build. As for as I can tell from the log book they kept this one for quite a while as a demonstrator.

still it's nice to know it kicked around the factory for a while

One happy bunny then! Another clean example, the mk2's are taking over!

I bet you have face ache now ;)

very nice m8.

my 45 was a longbridge car too.......was BG though!

very nice just needs the extreme spoiler now i do think that makes the car but thats just my opinion looks great anyway mate

yeah I like it too, I ordered one last week so it should be arriving tomorrow!

looks mint!!! get the spoiler on the ;)
