Mayflower is a big industrial corporation and its Automotive Division is one of the secret weapon of the British car industry.
Two member companies opf Mayflower Automotive Division presented their products in Frankfurt: Motor Panels and International Automotive Design (IAD).
IAD is responsible for the product development and is capable of taking a project from a 'clean sheet of paper' through to a fully engineered and tested design ready for production. The highyl confidential nature of this work means that IAD projects are rarerly reported on.
As a demonstration of its full service expertise, the Group is exhibited an example of the the new MGF sports car, in which Mayflower has invested over 20 million pounds.

Motor Panels was responsible for the body engineering and turning the design concept into a production reality, whils developing the body assembly systems, processes and facilities.
In production terms, Motor Panels presses and assembles the fully finished body shells before shipment to Rover for paint, trim and final assembly.
