Default MG 3 Cars in abandoned Factory.

What's with this recent video of Longbridge by some 'urban explorers' (17/12/2017) !!!

Have these MG3's been abandoned like the factory?

Doubtful.. perhaps Longbridge is currently just a storage hub?

Won't be for much longer as I understand its been/being handed back and hence will be demolished in due course

I've seen this on YouTube, apparently that part of Longbridge is (or was at the time) still used as a storage facility and the "Urban Explorers" have been accused of breaking in!

Incidentally, the YouTube video was uploaded at the start of last month.

It showed up in one of my news links yesterday dated the 17th, I thought it was a recent one. Looks like the security could do with beefing up then.

I'd not be surprised if they've been accused - but maybe they just walked in 'cos security is lax. Didn't show how they entered the place on the video does it though? I also notice that they don't just walk boldly around but peek around corners first and talk in whispers (maybe for effect?): perhaps they knew they'd be in trouble if caught?

If I found them wondering around my gaff because I left the door unlocked...
