When I did my YTS at Austin Rover in Canley Coventry C.1989 the design studio used to use staff company cars that were returned after 6 months as donor cars for panels etc in the design studios. All the bits like MG interiors and wheels
and stereos etc we sold on a Friday afternoon from a counter on the site. This would help the employees to get parts really cheaply and raise a few bob at the same time. Then one of the employees was on the fiddle so management decided that everything had to be destroyed!
There was a chap who used to put a stanley knife through the velour seats etc and smash the Philips stereos and slash all the tyres before throwing them into a skip.
Heartbreaking when you saw it!
