MG Rover Historical Artifacts Saved

As a long-time admirer of MG sports cars and Rover sedans, it saddened me when MG Rover went out of business last summer. The famed Longbridge site in Birmingham has been taken over by Nanjing Automobile. Fortunately, as theCarConnection tells us, Nanjing has done a deal with the Heritage Motor Center to safeguard historically important artifacts, documents, and photographs. HMC already owns a wide range of archive material - including the last production car, a Rover 75. Everything that belonged to MG Sport and Racing, the company's motorsport division, will go up for auction in a Wyles Hardy Webcast March 27. It includes race-prepared vehicles, support vans, an MGF concept car that's only been seen at motor shows. There's also MG-labelled clothing, mugs, keyrings, watches, slot-racing, and die cast model cars - even limited-edition bone china tea sets.
