The 'lost' Longbridge prototypes
In 2005, the closure of MG Rover was labelled "The darkest day in the history of the British car industry" with the loss of 6,000 jobs
The Longbridge car plant, built in 1906, produced more than 14million cars.

YouTuber Tom Cowling from Sheffield drove two hours to investigate and help protect the historical vehicles.
