Does the Team think?

Keeping on the factory photo theme, I've recently been sent this image which is reputed to have been taken in Longbridge. I dont *really* have any objections to that assertion but I do wonder under what circumstances the cars are there? They may be used models, as the two we can see are already registered, which I would have thought odd for brand new cars about to leave the factory. It appears not to be part of the production line either, as there is no paraphenalia around the cars. Is it, perhaps, some sort of warranty repair bay or trouble shooting area? There clearly is some form of 'process' going on as all the cars on the upper level to the left of the photo have theor bonnets removed and held ina purpose built holder on the railing...

But I am really not convinced of any of that and am open other ideas...

Anyone?
