Thread: Anyone want a half built MG?

That's awesome, and very sad.....
Although they will live on as MG (Mishchung Guandong) or something similar

Amazing pics those.

This is Longbridge though, that is an ex-Morris or maybe an ex_Austin plant. The proper MGs were built at Abingdon on Thames, & that factory was totally demolished about 10 years ago. Now that was a shame.

Was remember when the original "Morris Garages" plant was demolished. My father has never recovered from that. He is a MG fan from way back owning and restoring many MG's including: MGA's, Magnette's, TF's and my favourite an MGCGT...which is the car my father used to teach me how to drive when I was a teenager.

I was under the impression that MGF's and the newer ZT's where built at longbridge.

Those are stunning photos. Looks like everyone just got up and left when the closure was anounced. Offices still full of computers, half built cars lying around.

I love nothing more than to look around old buildings. Particularly military places but any old buildings will do.

Although commercialised I was in heaven when at Port Arthur, Tas and Devonport, NZ.

The only problem is that my wife hates it unless it is a quick in and out of a small place. A bit of a pain really since we generally come across these places while on a trip.

I blew an hour this morning looking at that website and following a few links. Lucky I'm not at work this week

I used to work in Telstra telephone exchanges and there were fully equipped offices in the exchanges that had not been used in many years. You'd swear the office workers had just gone to lunch.

That sounds like normal Telstra wastage to me .

There's not much left there now, I had been planning on goign out there one weekend and taking snaps myself, though most of the buildings are gradually becoming less and less as they're being demolished/removed.

It's where I did my recruit course, and I only just found out my Grandfather was stationed there for a bit in WW2!
