Abingdon Factory Demolition Article

Here's an interesting article from the 1998 ROARS suggested by Dwight Dawson.  Sadly, the MG factory closed on October 24, 1980 with the production of the last roadster number 523001 two days earlier.  I didn't realize the factory wasn't actually demolished until 1997.  I remember there was a time you could purchase bricks from the factory from Moss Motors.

The second article shows a wrecked MGF after a chap when berserk pushed it off a cliff with a tractor.

Thanks Dwight!
