Great day out, good memories! Hopefully a few owners might recognise their car being made :-)

Brilliant, many thanks for posting.

That Tuscan must have been one of the very first.

I have a feeling it may have been the one from the 1998 motor show, but may be wrong.

First thing I thought as timing is about right, it looks very similar and not quite like the production ones.

Brings back lots of great memories
There was something very special about going to see your own car being built

The dog looks like Ned! Great photos, lovely to see. The glory days.

ETA - the AJP was such a pretty engine, so compact.

Could it be?. My car was registered early 2000...... not aware of any others painted Alumina Green (a Rover colour used on the MGF)

I’d say your chances are pretty high.
I’m not an expert, but I’ve never seen another Chim or Griff in the same colour.

Many thanks for the old photos Andrew

Can anyone tell me what they are doing in the above photo? Is that a part-assembled buck for what would have been a then prototype shell?

Im just trying to figure out what’s happening there. It kinda looks like they’ve trying to fabricate another chassis off of the one below instead of using the jig?

Great pics! Unfortuntely I did not visit the factory than.

Nice to see pics of the visitor area including the reception?

Unbelievable that nothing is left...

[v8sss]

Great pictures

Is that Ned the dog?

[andrew_r]

Yes it was Ned, as children we loved meeting him!
