  • Following the collapse of MG Rover in 2005, Chinese automaker Nanjing Automobile bought the MG marque and the Longbridge facility for £53 million the following year.
    Some 12 months on, Shanghai-based SAIC Motor acquired the Chinese car firm along with the British-badged carmaker that was first established in 1920.
    Since 2007, three MG Motor models have been launched and part-built in the UK.

    ► URBAN EXPLORING:
    Urban Exploring or the Exploration of Abandoned Places is a hobby which has been around for many years. I explore derelict buildings mainly in the UK to try and uncover the history or discover the story behind why they have been left. Sometimes we find Mansions Full of Stuff or disused properties that have just been forgotten about. Either way, Urbex is always interesting. So join me as we Explore and peek behind the curtain of these Amazing Places.

    I visited Longbridge earlier today and had a drive around the site. There's literally nothing left now, I don't even think there's an MG dealership on site anymore. Very sad.

    I had a tour of this factory when it was producing cars in the early 70's. I also visited the British Leyland Special Tuning Department based here, which was responsible for producing all the rally winning cars of the 60's and 70's. Very sad that it's all gone now.

      Always good to get information on the places I visit from people have been there when it’s open. Thanks for the comment. 👍

    It actually makes me angry to see what has happened to the British Car Industry, we had some of the best cars in the World, some great innovations , and sadly let down by unions and shoddy management..

    I can appreciate what your doing etc. with this vid, I'm sure it was kinda interesting, but to show an MGF shell on a semi-darkened production, as a title is going to get viewers in hook line and sinker. To watch the whole vid only to be told at the very end that there is nothing was a bit poor.

    Let's hope that SAIC go the same way as MG Rover. And very soon.

    I used to alarm up those big abandoned places on my own in the dark. Could be spooky a times I can tell you

    • @TazerOnlineMedia

      Even with 2 of you it is a whole different ball game from solo. I remember 1 late night on my own in an abandoned old ex mental hospital bumping into an ex patient who was wandering around "thinking" I have killed his old doctor. That was a delight.

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      OMG! Yeah that would have freaked me out too. LOL 100% agree with you, I've done solo explore before that are on this channel (if you wanna check em out check out this video: th-cam.com/video/3_8ErmGpDAc/w-d-xo.html) and the atmosphere is totally different. Your senses are heightened and you hear noises everywhere.

    Walking around a car factory and we're told "There's some great architecture, kinda industrial". No shit Sherlock.
    Looks like a public school day trip to me , full of middle class people who wouldn't know which end of a screwdriver to hold

    Grrrr click bait again. Why show a thumbnail of a car abandoned on a production line if you don't actually see this or film it. TH-cam is 99% click bait now...

    theres nothing in both factories now, the land has been sold back to the owners, both factories are empty ready for demolition

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Steves Cleenz hmm that’s not what I heard... but I have someone checking the site so sure they’ll let me know lol 😉

    • @StevesCleenz
      @StevesCleenz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know as i work there :) was only there yesterday, the plant that you say is where the cars are is totally empty, this was the final line for the latest MG model, production stopped here earlier this year(car came in 3/4 built from china) this (CAB 2) was emptied around 5 months ago ready for demolition :) the only abandoned cars on site now are the old test/pre production models that are round the back of the press garage which is to the bottom far right of the factory pic you put in the video :)

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Steves Cleenz Lol well thanks for the info, any chance we can get a tour of the open bit if u work there? Lol. Have to ask u never know 😉

    • @StevesCleenz
      @StevesCleenz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      TBH there is nothing to see there anymore as what will be left is just offices and a warehouse for parts here is a little map of whats what imgur.com/a/ECY21

    So these guys filmed themselves breaking and entering and post it online. Lol

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The definition of “breaking” and entering is that something needs to be broken in order to be guilty of it. Not through an open door like we got in through ;)

    • @tompicker4017
      @tompicker4017 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So if you walk in through an open door to a house that's not yours it's legal is it? Same as a derelict factory. You could of all been killed and no one would of known

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I suggest maybe looking up the uk laws you might gain some insight into what’s legal and what’s not. Doing a bungee jump puts your life at risk, walking across the street can put your life at risk. I appreciate the concern but I am a grown man and fully aware of the risks. And I still choose to take them because life is there to be lived, not to avoid risk wherever you can. We only get one shot, make it count and do something amazing.

    Perhaps you should had got all your information before you set off

    • @TazerOnlineMedia
      @TazerOnlineMedia  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Perhaps, but it wasn't that easy as we was on a road trip round the country and had a limited time frame in each area before moving onto the next. This was a last minute location that a guy on instagram had given me and given me a few details, so we were trying our best to get things together in the time we had. Unfortunately, urbex is not always easy to plan ahead for every detail. I mean this site there was know way we could have known they'd be demolishing parts until we got there. I mean we didn't even hear and demo going on till we got inside that big room. Oh well, we live and learn.
