wow great footage

[davidmiles]

amazing isn't it, I never knew minors were assembled over there, you can see part one to this film to the right of the you tube screen, it shows the flatpacked and crated bodies arriving at the dockside, presumably from BMC Longbridge.

Health n safety would love that place lol.
Amazing how little regard was given to safety but super footage non the less

Those two workmen at the very beginning seem to be applying some kind of filler to the door and front wing, the factory doesn'y look well lite by todays standards.

Excellent footage - and what wonderful inefficiency! They load everything for one car onto a pallet - move the pallet across - and then unload it all again! If only 'Heritage' would make up the floor-pan / chassis assembly that the car starts from - it would make Minor restoration sooo much easier.
