Evening.
I have just bee sent this link. Really interesting to see a short video of the rootes production line.
Mainly hunters (I think) but sure I spotted a fastback too.
Here's the link https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-rootes-car-factory-1967-online |

Ahhh...... Memories.
No I'm not that old but I did some time at Ryton and as such the plant did not alter that much.
The film was mainly of the post welding/assembly section.
Known appropriately as BIW (Body in White) due to the dip in primer.
Not certain about the Fastback (Feb 67 seems a little too early), Could have been a Humber Sceptre though.
Sometimes I think laterally, but then I have to get up! |

Thanks for that. Very interesting.
It's also startling to see the lack health and safety equipment in the spraying area!
