These
pictures were taken during the AMGBA September 1980 Abingdon-on-Thames
factory MG tour. We were the last tour group to see MG's in production
at Abingdon. MGB's were parked in lots outside the factory for shipment
to dealers. After building MG's for 51 years, the Abingdon factory
would close four weeks later.
