Live Sky News report from Longbridge when MGR went under. That's my dirty yellow ZR in the background. A very sad day. Will never forget the workers coming out to applaud the rally.

Oh and it was a supports rally not a demonstration!! Typical Sky News to get it wrong!

  • Good luck Longbridge and MG Rover. We love your cars up here in Lancashire and are keeping our ears open for re-starting production. Thanks for giving me superb cars over the last twenty-odd years and best wishes to you all in your search for work.

  • Nearly brings me to tears. The government are quite happy to bail out unpatriotic banks for many tens of billions but not a Great British manufacturer which helped our exports by £millions. I hope all the workers managed to get fulfilling jobs after the collapse.

  • By later next autumn, it will have a new shopping centre, rover museum, and a brand new Bournville college transferred from Bristol Road South will replace the former Rover plant. as its good news for many of us too.

  • echopark69, do you enjoy being redundant? as I see no reason why there was reason for celebrating from this?? also about the cars I own over 8 different cars from the Austin Rover and MG rover era and they all are trouble free and the fact that Marinas are the only 70s cars suriving on the roads here, they had to be good cars

  • FYI they asked us to stay there to be filmed so no need for nasty comments

  • Those kids have no respect!! why didn't they piss off!!

  • when was this?

  • Theres only a small very small peice of Longbridge left now.The rest of it is gone and China will never make them as big as they use to be now.Rovers dead and buried.
