However all look to me as they are LHD, I can't spot a RHD. They all have wipers parked on the correct side for LHDs.

On closer examination you are right.. All left hand drive.

Must get some new glasses.

They can't have been bankrupt stock from the closure as they are Mk1's & even if they were SIAC didn't take over till 2007 so how are they where they are/were?

Not sure exactly how many there are or what they were worth when left to fester, but potentially someone has wasted at least half a million quid there....

What a great shame, a real wast of a great car. If they could be registered in China, I would buy one and bring it back.

Greeners · 14th July 2013, 17:08

They were probably built / left over from Longbridge and shipped to China for the Chineese to look at / take to bits etc.....

Could be an eccentric Chinese Rover collector? LOL.
