The presses didn't make any difference to production as far as I understand, they were stored out in the yard as there were sufficient panels in stock. As Greg said they would have been melted down before the factory opened that Monday. I did hear BCL were significantly underinsured at the time though.

It is hard to know what the future for the factory might be as the staff have been laid off and much of the expertise and know how will have left as they walked out the gate. The BOC Heritage Trust is talking to the administrators to assist in preserving as much as possible.

It is a well understood principle that the way to make a small fortune in car manufacture is to start with a large fortune. Very true unfortunately
