"In this video we explore some of the most incredible and mysterious Austin Minis, Rover Minis, Morris Minis ever made! These cars go from weird and wonderful conversions like Crayford’s mini convertible, luxury Minis like the Radford Mini De Ville and INSANE versions such as the Tickford Mini and the millionaire worthy Wood And Pickett Mini built for a prince! We cover Speedwell, Downton, Broadspeed and more in this deep dive into the history of the Mini."

And another...some of the you tube comments below the video from ex-Longbridge workers on their memories of the tunnels are quite interesting.

The LOST Prototypes Of The Longbridge Tunnels.
"In this video we explore some of the most incredible and mysterious British Leyland and BMC prototypes ever made but with a twist, these cars were stored in the Longbridge tunnels and after a disaster in the late 70s these cars were destroyed. These include mysteries such as the Aqua Mini, Vanden Plas 3L and the Austin Healey 4000 GT."

Very interesting. I have never seen them archive photos from the '78 tunnel fire at Longbridge.
