So what is this place, Roscoe engineering use the entrance to the tunnel as a garage and then through the back of their shop the tunnel continues and theres all these cars down there?

the pic is of the collapse the other month, the pic of the mini is a few years old.

no, you go in through the old station entrance, down steep ramp with a sharp left and right turn, over a bridge at the top of the station, then down some steps to the garage itself. it's all the same level, garage//tunnel.

if the mini was still there it looks like it was further back along the tunnel.

I think it is maybe too late........the tunnels are probably under these new developments on the Longbridge site or more likely been filled in.........perhaps a future project for Channel Four's 'Timeteam' programme!
http://www.austinmem...e84/page84.html

or maybe it is still there according to this:
'The 'Mini Clubman' tunnels are still there as they run under the remaining factory'
