Full-scale car production restarted at the famous Longbridge plant.

Question

Will they be churning out the unreliable c**p they did before? or will the Chinese make a difference??

Answer 1

Yup, the cars are built in China & assembled in Longbridge.

Anyone who's ever seen a Chinese car or motorbike should be very worried, especially if they're employing the same chimps in Longbridge who used to chuck Rover cars together.

Answer 2

It is apparently assembling the MG-TF, the convertible with the Rover K-series engine (not a bad engine, but a little old-hat now) mounted in the middle, the rear suspension system is two Mini-style Hydrolastic units!  About ten years ago, the car magazines uysed to group-test little sports cars - the Mazda MX5 was usually the best-received, and the MG-TF always came in last, as being soft, wallowy, porky-heavy and a dissappointment in comparison to the others.

I give it six months.

Answer 3

its a limited restart of production, and is a bolt together job , rather than full manufacture. The chinese will probably make it as well as rover did (c**p).
