So is there no way of getting it out now Steve? If it gets left there it won't ever get seen again, which seems a shame

I wish I could see it in the flesh, down the tunnel. If it is pulled out then I want to try and be there at the gates to see it!

Initially, it would have a lot of interest. Once it is out, it is no longer in the old factory, so the interest will soon disappear. Is the current last mini out actually worth more than the second from last? Probably not.

I think the only answer is, there needs to be a factory museum and this needs to be in it! Probably not going to happen but It should.

it is also a 1275gt in reynard bronze ...quite a rare car indeed and the damage can all be repaired with a little tap here and there


A little tap here and there? You were quite brave in longbridge back in the days!

Totally agree, but you should carry part of the tunnel along with the car :P
