My goodness how people judge have a good look at you own past and work practice they must have been doing something right as the famous brand was over 90 years

[@thrillseekanz7874]

Built with pride... you know a quality product is being built when you can hear hammers flat out

[@35geordielad]

Loved my 1.6 Montego

[@sutherlandA1]

Lord Nuffield would be so proud

[@Surreptitious_1]

People just seemed so happy back then. Unionised to fuck but hard grafting and could support their families. Always thought the unions were the problem, not the workers

Great looking cars.

[@leeenglandland2978]

When you see how these cars were "built" its no wonder they fell apart so soon !

[@sutherlandA1]

Lee Englandland production was winding down for closure so no one would've cared as they were gonna be out of a job regardless

[@SuzLa1]

I lived near the Cowley factory. The building looked like it was falling apart when Tories were in power. Then BMW took it over and it started to look more modern. They now build Mini on the site, but not sure for how much longer, as will probably move to mainland Europe like all the other car manufacturers if we really do leave the EU

[@billybellend1155]

SusieLa1 How many car plants in this country have shut down since we’ve been in the EU (European common market)? It’s because of the EU that Honda have pulled out of the U.K. and Turkey as they have signed a free trade agreement which means Japanese cars don’t have tariffs anymore.

[@RS7John]

@@SuzLa1 Mini will be ok I think even as much as BMW probably don't like it they couldn't build it outside of the UK

[@jackkruese9929]

johndeq But they are building it outside the UK, in Holland

[@bigerch85]

Its a wonder anything ever got built! Didn't see anyone lift a tool

[@yvonnefox844]
