'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle

I think in truth looking at the rest of the workshop I think several of the cars are being done at the same time.
I do think most of what they do is within the realms of possibility, I also think that there is a far bigger team working behind the scenes than are actually on camera. The spray painters for one.

Their continuity is also a bit back to front with parts having gone on the car that are not there a few scenes later.

I have had cars in pieces the night before a concourse, the wife comes in and says "I take it we are not going then?" The car was always there.

Don't know about these Ronnie. I'm guessing I'd need a relatively good broadband speed? Our fluctuates between 0.5 and 1.5mbps, can't even watch YouTube vids
