Mg rover memorabilia?

biffa75 · 6th April 2021, 11:38

Hi all, me again

Along with my other thread regarding the pvc wing protectors, I though I'd make this thread for all things related to mg/ rover and mg rover group. Things like the protectors as an example, things from Longbridge etc.

I recently bought this storage box as a means to keep the boot tidy on our 75

Does anyone else have rare things? Like umbrellas? Pens etc

Thanks
Rob

Hi I viewed your image, but wondered what it's purpose was.

I don't think it was ever an OEM purchase item.
Can you help with it's origins?

Yes, it’s a transport case used to take various parts into the factory from suppliers.

I have filled a few of them over the years with interior and exterior plastic parts.

I've seen a few of these storage boxes in the long ridge factory featured in docume tardies and such on YouTube and thought it would a great way of keeping the boot tidy (foot pump, few basic tools and cleaning products and emergency items etc).

There's someone on Facebook market place from Birmingham selling two 80s Rover storages boxes (grey with dark red River wording) for £10 if anyone is interested.
