Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:07:01 This will probably mark the end of the Stratton Plant....which will be a terrible shame as my old man was one of a generation of Swindonians who went "down the slope"
It will mean however a vast brownfield site becomes available.......new ground anyone? Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: yeo on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:08:48 The Stratton plant is nothing to do with Longbridge though.
Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: Titch on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:10:48 Yeah don't BMW actually still own the greenbridge plant! I did not think they did any rover stuff ther anymore! Could be wrong of course!
Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:12:20 All owned by BMW though.....I guess they may switch production of the mini to Cowley, but can't be good news.

Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:38:17 i'm pretty sure the new mini has only ever been made in cowley.
Title: Rover's gone into administration Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, April 8, 2005, 15:44:05 Before the new mini though there was the old mini.
